Volunteer

Volunteering is easy, fun, and a great way to meet other parents! All KidSpace member families are required to complete THREE (3) EASY 90-MINUTE VOLUNTEER SERVICES during the KidSpace season from November to April. The most common volunteer activity is working a 90 minute shift at the registration desk during regular KidSpace hours -- checking people in, selling snacks and answering questions. Working a shift is not hard -- there are comprehensive, step-by- step instructions on site and lots of other friendly parents to answer questions and help keep an eye on the kids. Alternatively, volunteers can participate in clean-up nights, wash dress-up cloths, perform a manageable administrative task from home, or chair a committee. Bottom line, the idea is to get as many people involved as possible to keep the workload easy and manageable. [See descriptions below.]
