Frequently Asked Questions.
Do I need special skills to volunteer for Family Compass?
Anyone can volunteer with us! We even offer volunteer training to bring you up to speed. We’ll contact you when we have a project in the pipeline that suits your skills. Plus, for those who are flexible and willing to learn, there’s often a job to be done. Thanks for wanting to help.
When is the next volunteer training?
Things are a little unusual right now, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. The best thing to do for now is sign up to volunteer, and check yes for email updates. We won’t spam you, but we will let you know when volunteer trainings are up and running again.
Do I need a background check or any training to volunteer?
Probably, yes. Different positions require different training levels. However, if you are going to be near our families, or work with younger volunteers, you will need to pass a background check. There are other positions that require less paperwork and can even be done from home. If you’re interested, please fill out the form below, and tell us how you’d like to help!
