Volunteer Services Program

Volunteer OpportunitiesFamily Care VolunteerWhen children are brought to Scotty’s House to receive a forensic interview and/or a forensic medical exam, Family Care volunteers (FCs) welcome these child clients and their non-offending family members to our center. FCs appropriately interact with families to provide comfort and support while maintaining client confidentiality. FCs provide supervision for clients of Scotty’s House in a fun, child friendly setting. FCs also provide support for our counseling program by monitoring our counseling waiting area and assisting our therapists with clients. FC volunteer shifts are Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm, and are available in one-hour increments. The primary goal of the FC is to help make our child clients feel welcome and comfortable while visiting our agency.All individuals interested in participating in the FC program must attend New Volunteer Orientation and must also complete Family Care training. New Volunteer Orientation is offered three times a year in the spring, summer, and fall. FC training is offered twice a year, in the spring and fall.Scotty’s House AmbassadorsScotty’s House Ambassadors provide a variety of support for our agency including: staffing our agency information booth at health fairs, assisting with Child Abuse Prevention Month activities during April, helping with our two annual fundraisers in spring and fall, decorating for seasons/holidays, assisting with our annual Star Program at Christmas, and providing support at other activities involving the agency.Ambassadors sign up for events and activities throughout the year.
