Volunteer Spotlights
Read about some of our amazing volunteers! They come to Florence Crittenton for different reasons. Some are students, some are moms, some are retired. They all love volunteering here because of impact they can have on our teen mothers and their children, and we couldn't run this campus without them!
Volunteer Newsletters
Each month in our monthly newsletters, we will share updates, spotlights, profiles of amazing volunteers, and general information regarding our volunteer program.
Volunteer Grant Programs
Volunteer Grant programs, also known as “Dollars for Doers” programs, are charitable giving programs where companies provide a monetary donation to eligible nonprofits to recognize employees who volunteer.
These programs enable corporations to give back to their communities and support organizations that employees are already passionate about. They encourage and reward employees for giving back to the community.
If you volunteer at Florence Crittenton Services, please tell your company’s human resource administrator and ask if your company has a Dollars for Doers/Volunteer Grant program to support your volunteer efforts. For more information, please contact our Special Events & Volunteer Coordinator, Michelle Baldwin at 720.423.8905 or mbaldwin@flocritco.org.
