Volunteer Opportunities & Responsibilities

St. Clare's Homes for Children
Locations: Elizabeth, Jersey City, and Neptune, NJ
The St. Clare's Homes care for medically fragile children (ages birth-12yrs) in a loving home-like environment. The Homes are seeking once-weekly volunteers to help 2-3 hours on a weekday evening (between 4-8pm). Weekend volunteers are also welcome on a regular basis, during the day or evening.
Volunteer activities include assisting with housekeeping, grocery shopping, laundry, interacting with children, and helping with the daily tasks of our child healthcare workers.
Due to the health and well-being considerations of the children in St. Clare's Homes, we ask that volunteers commit a minimum of 6 months to this service. We also require background checks and proof of immunizations.
The St. Clare's Homes are beautiful places for vulnerable children who need our assistance. We look forward to volunteers who can help us continue to provide quality care with love and compassion.
