Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! This year marks Child & Family Guidance Center's 125th anniversary of services to the greater Dallas community, and we're grateful to our volunteers, who help us make our community better for those in need! Due to privacy and the specialized nature of our work, most volunteers do not work directly with clients. Please see current volunteer opportunities below.
If you are interested in volunteering as an individual, group, or company, please reach out to discuss the opportunities available.

Holding an open house at your store or place of business to help raise awareness or donations for Child & Family Guidance Center.
Organizing a fundraising event such as a golf or bowling tournament, or walk / swim-a-thon, or a charity luncheon / fashion show.

Welcome bags vary depending on service and age of individual but often include items such as a journal or notebook and pen, stress ball, age-appropriate book, mini tissue pack, bath bomb, calming lotion, hand sanitizer, etc.).
