“Over 50 volunteers were utilized during the past year. They include those serving on the board of director, board subcommittees, multi-disciplinary team members and community members. Below is a list of some of the various areas in which volunteers are used: development department - meet people, have fun and help raise the funds needed to support cac's work by volunteering for events. Child care - provide child care during parent support groups administrative assistant - assist intake coordinator with administrative tasks as needed. Waiting room supervision - the volunteer meets the family at the door, escorts them to the waiting room, plays with and generally engages with the child. The parents then can leave the room to meet with the multi-disciplinary team. The volunteer is not needed to "sit" with the child during the interview, so the volunteer straightens up the waiting area, stocks the snack area, etc. When the child returns from the interview, the volunteer is waiting for the child and continues the game or activity and stays with the child until the family leaves the building. Sewing - sew medical examination gowns for children receiving medical services. Handyman/woman - helps with miscellaneous projects as needed. Board of directors / board subcommittees”
