Breaking the Cycle
May serve in a wide range of capacities, including van drivers, office assistants, and custodial workers. This category offers the widest range of commitments and hours, although we do ask these volunteers to follow a set schedule.
Requirements: Along with committing to a schedule, we ask you to provide child abuse, PA criminal record, and FBI fingerprint clearances (if you do not have these, we are happy to help you apply!).
Some jobs may have additional requirements (ie. volunteer van drivers must agree to a driving record check by our insurance company and take an online defensive driving class).
How to Apply:
We would be happy to answer your questions or set a time for you to visit our programs.
