Exciting Volunteer Opportunities at Storyteller Children’s Center

 Located in Santa Barbara, California, Storyteller Children’s Center offers early childhood education for at-risk and homeless youth at no cost. In addition, the organization provides a wide range of support services for the families of these children. The center relies on the teachers and volunteers to keep its programs running. Volunteers can use their skills in a wide range of positions, from hands-on work with children to committee positions and other leadership opportunities.

Many volunteers choose to work directly with children served by the center. These high-risk children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years require individualized attention to help increase their development. Other volunteers engage children with reading and writing exercises in English and Spanish during story time. Volunteers also encourage creative development by guiding children through various art projects.

Working with Storyteller provides individuals with the opportunity to make a real impact on the lives of children in their community. Those interested in volunteering can learn more at StorytellerCenter.org.
