Volunteers

"I feel that I get as much if not more out of volunteering, than they might from any help I give them! I am very happy and proud to be part of the Coburn "family". -- Sandy Stuaan, Coburn Place volunteer

Volunteers are an important component to the Coburn Place program. Committed and compassionate volunteers help tutor children, answer phones, plant flowers, decorate apartments and plan fundraising events.

Thank you for your interest in joining the Coburn Place team of volunteers. In just four easy steps, you can start sharing your time with Coburn Place.

Step 1. Complete and submit the volunteer application. 

Step 2. Participate in a quarterly volunteer orientation and training session. The next   orientation is scheduled for August 17th  from 5:30-7:30pm. To participate, you must RSVP to Marina at marina@coburnplace.org or 317-923-5750.

Step 3. For the safety of the families we serve, all volunteers (ages 18 and older) must provide a recent background check. A background check may be obtained from your local sheriff’s department, or Coburn Place can provide one for you at our cost of $15.

Step 4. Once you have completed Steps 1-3, check your calendar and schedule yourself for a volunteer shift using our online calendar. Thank you!  

 

Student Volunteers

Does your teacher or professor require community service hours? Coburn Place can accommodate a limited number of student volunteers interested in supporting after-school activities for children (Monday-Thursday 6-8pm).

If you are committed to sharing at least 20 hours of service, please complete a volunteer application and plan to attend an orientation session.

If you need additional information, please contact Marina Keers at 317-923-5750 or marina@coburnplace.org.
