Volunteering

HOME » VOLUNTEERING

Volunteer today with Child Saving Institute and experience what it means to make a difference in a child's life.

Child Saving Institute needs dedicated individuals interested in volunteering time with children, teens, and families. You can volunteer on a continual basis or once depending on your time and interests.

On-Going Volunteers

Volunteering on a continual basis gives you many opportunities to make a difference in someone's life. On-going volunteers receive 15 hours of training to prepare for different volunteer positions. On-going volunteers must be 19 or older.

Be a mentor for a young parent (age twenty-five and younger) and help them meet their goals of continuing their education, reducing risk of abuse and neglect for their infants, learning independent living skills, and learning problem-solving skills.
Be a mentor assisting a child, age six to thirteen, attending Omaha Public Schools in developing social skills, increasing coping skills, enhancing their self image, learning strategies for responsible decision-making, assisting with homework and providing one-on-one support and friendship.
Mentors for the Independent Living Skills program will help youth age 16 - 19 aging out of foster care to prepare for independent life. This may consist of accompanying the youth to meetings where their progress in establishing home and living skills are discussed. Mentors are instrumental in helping with job preparation and finding resources for continued education.
Volunteer in a CSI emergency shelter assisting staff in providing a nurturing environment for children and youth ages 0 to 18 that have been placed in a shelter because of a family crisis. Provide special one-on-one attention serving as a role model; engage children in reading books, playing games, completing homework, doing crafts and conversation. Volunteers also assist staff with outings, bedtime, and mealtimes.
Childcare volunteers are needed Wednesday and Thursday evenings so parents may participate in CSI's parenting classes.

On-Call Support Volunteers

Are you a volunteer group leader, youth group leader or an individual looking for an occasional or one-time volunteer opportunity? Are you thinking about doing office work, helping with mailings, or sorting the in-kind closet during the day, with little commitment? Could you volunteer for CSI with as little as two days notice? If so, please call the CSI Development office – we have an opportunity for you!
