Volunteer Opportunities

We have opportunities at NBCC’s Novato, Petaluma and Santa Rosa sites. Volunteers who give their time and expertise are an essential partner with us in expanding our resources.
NBCC’s programs support youth and families by ensuring children are cared for in safe and healthy education environments and by assisting families in their goal toward self-sufficiency. At this time 59% of the families we serve receive tuition assistance, enabling parents to return to the workforce(or continue their education) therefore reducing the cycle of poverty in our community.
Contact: For details and information on individual site needs, please contact the receptionist at North Bay Children’s Center main campus at (415) 883-6222. A screening process is required by the State of California for any volunteers who interact with our children.
