Get Involved
Our volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of many of the
children and their families who reside within our community. There
are numerous ways to become involved.
- CHILDCARE VOLUNTEERS: Interact with children and provide them
with a safe and nurturing environment. Volunteers must be 18 years
of age and submit to fingerprinting and a background check.
- COMMUNITY RELATIONS VOLUNTEERS: Provide information to the
community by the distribution of brochures, posters and flyers
at a variety of community events.
- FRIENDS OF THE CRISIS NURSERIES: Ensure community support for
the agency through fundraising events and a community educational
program.
- ADMINISTRATIVE VOLUNTEERS: Support the office staff with a
variety of administrative tasks.
- GROUP OPPORTUNITIES: Provide your members a hands-on activity
to help at the nursery.
- "MY BAGS": Do you like to sew? The Crisis Nursery
gives a a personal "My Bag" to each child when he/she
leaves the Nursery. Each drawstring bag, approximately 24 x 18
inches, holds a child's blanket, a new book, a teddy bear and
personal hygiene items.

Other Ways to Be Involved
Sacramento Crisis Nurseries have always utilized the resources
of Sacramento communities to provide support to clients and for
the operation of the nurseries. Each of the nurseries was planned
for and built by community residents, service organizations, businesses,
and public and private agencies and organizations.
Sacramento Crisis Nurseries also receive numerous in-kind services,
gifts and donations. For example, every room in both nurseries was
adopted by volunteers who painted, decorated and furnished their
room. Civic organizations, churches, and youth groups donate time
working in the garden, sorting donations, and helping with other
tasks. Building contractors donated materials and in-kind labor
to renovate both nurseries. Visit the Wish
List to find out what we currently need in the nursery.
