Elementary School Volunteering

With Cradles to Crayons, children of all ages can help to make a direct impact on the lives of other children who need basic, everyday kid stuff. In the Giving Factory, groups of volunteers aged 8 to 12 might make birthday wrapping paper, sort building blocks, clean action figures, inspect dolls or fill backpacks.

Two-hour shifts for groups of as many as 20 elementary school volunteers are regularly scheduled during the following hours:

Tuesdays through Fridays: 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
2nd and 4th Tuesday nights: 5:30 to 8:30 pm
1st, 2nd and 4th Saturdays: 9:30 to 11:30 am
3rd Sundays: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

(Please note that Saturday and Sunday dates are scheduled starting with the first full weekend of the month i.e. the first weekend in which both a Saturday AND Sunday occur.)

Dates fill up quickly! Many dates are booked at least six weeks in advance for weekdays and three to four months in advance for weekends. Fill out the form below to reserve your Giving Factory shift now.

Before you sign up, important notes on bringing your group of students
* We ask that 1 adult leader come with every 3 elementary school students on your volunteer date for a safe and positive experience!
* All volunteers under 18 must also bring a C2C Permission Form signed by a parent or guardian on their volunteer date.
* For first-time groups, we require that at least 1 adult leader make a 30-minute site visit prior to the volunteer date for a Giving Factory orientation.
