Volunteer
There are a variety of ways to make an impact on the life of a child through one of the most valuable gifts of all: TIME. When you volunteer at an event or in a classroom, children at CCVI understand that there are advocates for them in the community.

Donate
Gifts are the most immediate way to impact the populations that CCVI serves. A single donation can be the difference between a child starting kindergarten prepared and the gap widening. Please consider making a donation to support our operations and goals.
