Join Child Saving Institute and volunteer your time and passion helping children! We offer many ways for you, your family, and your colleagues to share your time and talent by volunteering at Child Saving Institute.
Child Saving Institute appreciates the many volunteers who assist in our offices with mailings, filing, and other general office work. Administrative volunteers save the agency employee wages, allowing those funds to be used for the important programs that help children.
We invite you to join AUNTYs — a Giving Circle group of women who meet during the year at a restaurant of their choice or at Child Saving Institute where they learn about the agency and vote on how to use their annual funds to support children. This is a fun place to meet women who care about children while making a big difference in the lives of children.
A fun way to support young parents is to host a baby shower, which provides much-needed items for the Child Saving Institute Baby Bucks Boutique.
The Baby Bucks Boutique is full of brand new baby essentials for parents in the Teen and Young Parents Program. Young Parents earn points for participating in the program as well as other things that are good for them or good for baby such as attending school, reading parenting books, taking baby to well checks, etc. The boutique is full of diapers, wipes, sleepers and even some big-ticket items such as high chairs, strollers, and pack ‘n plays.
The Triage Center at Project Harmony donates a backpack to each child who passes through The Triage Center. Items include (travel size where applicable):
Event volunteers join Child Saving Institute’s annual fundraiser, Cabaret, and assist with registration and event setup and cleanup. Also, volunteers support other events such as Touch-A-Truck and Substitute Santa. Volunteering at events is a great avenue for engagement while meeting other people in our community who care about kids!
Engage your company and support kids! Many employees in the Omaha area have chosen Child Saving Institute as their charity of choice and have organized wonderful activities – the possibilities are endless!
Invite your staff and come in for a tour of our agency to learn how we are making a difference in the lives of children and families. Partnering to help children is a terrific team-building exercise!
Through Child Saving Institute's Substitute Santa program, you, your family, and/or company can put the happy in Happy Holidays for hundreds of children and teens who live in our community. Whatever holiday you celebrate — Christmas, Hanukkah, the winter solstice, Kwanza, or something else — helping Child Saving Institute's kids have a happy holiday and childhood is a big job and we absolutely could not do it without you!
Through the efforts of many impassioned Child Saving Institute Guild members, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised through the years to benefit children and families throughout the Omaha metro area. We invite you to join this committed group of volunteers! Learn more...
