Thank you so much to you and your volunteers for the dedication, passion, and especially the love you pour into [G] and all the kids. [G] loved it, and so did we.
I know those three days have planted seeds in him and he will always remember the experience as he continues to grow and mature emotionally. — G.’s parent
Honoring a Dedicated Volunteer
We’re honored to share this video featuring longtime volunteer Jack Stephens. Filmed during his time with CDA, the video reflects Jack’s generosity, enthusiasm, and love for being involved in the community. Jack passed away in 2023, and his impact as a volunteer continues to be felt.
To get started, fill out the application below. Volunteers must be 18 years or older to participate. Once your application is accepted, we’ll email you a link to complete SafeSport training. SafeSport is required for all volunteers and helps ensure a safe, respectful environment for everyone involved.
As part of the onboarding process, volunteers complete a few standard requirements, including annual SafeSport training, a background check, and required waivers. The initial SafeSport training is more in-depth, with shorter annual renewals in future years.
Once these steps are complete, we’ll share next steps and help you get connected with volunteer opportunities that fit your interests and availability.
If you have questions at any point, you’re welcome to reach out the CDA office through our contact form.
