Volunteers Needed!
BrightStart For Families
Begins Saturday, September 19

A crucial role for volunteers is to support young children’s play under the direction of a children's play coach. All volunteers need to file in an information form. We will offer opportunities for orientation.
Volunteers are needed from 9 am until 12 on Saturday mornings. If you are not available for the entire morning we can still use your help setting up or taking down for an hour as well as greeting families at the welcome table.
You can call or text for more information (860)375-0121
