ACTIVITY PLANNERS
We need volunteers who will give our foster children in Beaumont, Texas, some unforgettable Valentine’s Day and Spring Break memories! The Buckner Children’s Village campus needs volunteers to provide fun and creative activities for children. You or your group will come up with the activity – you’re only limited by your imagination.

We need a volunteer with a background in teaching and a desire to help others reach their fullest potential for our twice-weekly 9 a.m. to noon GED classes in South Dallas. Curriculum is provided by Buckner. Register here and Lindsay Miller will contact you with more details!

ORGANIZERS
Do you have the gift of organization? Our Mission Center in Longview, Texas, needs volunteers who can sort and organize donations of clothing, baby food, diapers, hygiene items and more. Flexible scheduling is available. This would be a great volunteer opportunity for groups.

CHILDCARE PROVIDERS
The gift of your time would be a huge blessing to single parents at My Father’s House Lubbock who are working toward getting their education and becoming self-sufficient. We need volunteers who will provide childcare on-location at My Father’s House so residents can enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship at Mother’s Night Out.
