Community Volunteer Opportunities

Family Support Volunteers are the welcoming face of Safe Passage for children, caregivers, and professionals. They assist staff in providing a child-friendly, private, comfortable, and supportive environment for child victims. Duties include age appropriate and companionable playroom supervision and spending time with adolescent and teenage children. Duties will also include a variety of tasks related to our administrative functioning.

We do ask that our volunteers commit to at least 1 shift of 4-5 hours per week over a period of 6 months, which take place during normal working hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. As an organization that works with children, we also ask that our volunteers provide 3 personal references and undergo our standard background check.

Minimum age is 18.

We have three different opportunities to volunteer as an individual at Early Connections: 1. Classroom Support Assistant - A volunteer who works directly in the classroom one-on-one with children. 2. Classroom Enrichment Assistant - A volunteer who works to support the overall well-being of a classroom but will likely not work one-on-one with children. 3. Administrative Support Assistant - A volunteer who will work solely to support the administrative functions of the organization and will not work in classrooms or one-on-one with children

We have many different groups that come and do a variety of volunteer projects. Projects range from working one-on-one with children in the classrooms, to helping with indoor and outdoor beautification projects, to assisting teachers with everyday tasks that keep their classrooms functioning.

Our food distribution and family dinners are a few examples of the direct volunteer opportunities we have at Pikes Peak United Way. We also have partner agencies that we can direct individuals to if their mission directly aligns with what a volunteer is looking for.
Most opportunities are for ages 14+ but may occasionally include children younger than 14 with a guardian present.

PPUW Volunteer Registration Form is directly in our volunteer platform when you join our group.
