Thousands of generous individuals donate their time and talent every year to assist Children's Home Society of Florida in providing quality care and services to Florida children and families. Last year, nearly 6,800 volunteers contributed 195,294 hours of support worth an estimated value of $3,665,668*.

Please consider joining our dedicated volunteer corps. Opportunities vary throughout the state but include such rewarding activities as mentoring, helping kids with their homework, organizing and supporting fundraising events, advisory board leadership, advocacy and more.

Each volunteer's contribution is critical to our success and enables CHS to continue to provide children and families with hope for tomorrow.
