CARE House Volunteer

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”-Gandhi

Why Volunteer:

 Our mission at The CARE House of the Pee Dee is help, hope, and healing. We are lucky to have great staff who provide all three to our children and families. However, we cannot do it alone. We are fortunate to have CARE House Heroes, also known as volunteers. Our volunteers are our saving grace, by providing their helping hands and giving hearts to our clients and staff. We have wonderful volunteers from all walks of life!

Here are some of our Volunteer opportunities:

  • Interns: Undergraduate & Graduate opportunities available.

  • Administrative Volunteers:  Answering phones, filing, scanning files to electronic record, calling clients for appointments, and other clerical duties as needed.

  • Greeters: Welcoming clients and families with a smile, helping maintain an organized and clean waiting room, assisting in monitoring family/child interactions (recognizing inappropriate behavior), and interacting with children.

  • Event Volunteers: Working at events, helping with prep-work, etc. Events may include: CAPES For Kids, Toss & Taste, & Florence Flicks 

  • Outreach Volunteers: Helping educate and reach out to the community. This could be in a variety of different atmospheres; including schools, classrooms, daycare centers, law enforcement agencies, DSS, etc.

  • Victim Advocate Volunteers: Helping our victim advocates by following up with families, answering questions, and connecting them with any resources they may need.

  • After Hours: On Call Volunteers: (Mon - Fri: 5pm-8am; Sat-Sun: all day) You will be trained to ask specific questions about incoming incidents, deciding if it is an emergency, or if it can wait until the following work day. May require response to the emergency room.

  • Forensic Medical Education: You would assist in explaining the forensic medical process to families and children, along with assisting with paperwork. Medicals are performed every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10-12.

  • Shoppers: You can adopt a family for court.

We are also looking for people who have special gifts:

  • Artists

  • Designers (whether that is website, computer, etc)

  • Photographers and videographers 

  • Grant writers

These are just some ideas, we encourage you to reach out.
