Opportunities From: The Road Home

We have a playgroup program at our Connie Crosby Family Resource Center for children ages 2-5 who are not yet in school. Each shift is supervised by a lead volunteer, or the Volunteer Coordinator. We ask volunteers to show up by 10:15 AM to get the room ready for the kids by 10:30 AM. Parents pick up their kids at approximately 11:30 AM. Volunteers are expected to clean the room before they leave. 

If we are unable to have at LEAST 2 volunteers per shift, we reserve the right to cancel Playgroup for the safety of the children and volunteers. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Activities include playing with toys and Play-Doh, songs, story time, free play, crafts and snacks (if you want to bring a snack please comment on the sign up that you will do so). 

We can usually have up to 20 children in the playroom, depending on number of volunteers. We maintain a limit of 4 children per every 1 volunteer. 

Thank you!

The goal of this program is to help children, ages 5 – 12 years old, become interested in reading. Volunteers read a stories with the children. There is generally one on one reading time followed by a group story and a craft or activity centered on the theme or characters in the story follow to reinforce the enjoyment of reading.

The Connie Crosby Family Resource Center playroom is available to schedule group activities with the kids on Tuesday evenings from 5-6pm. We can accommodate groups of 4-10 volunteers ages 16 or older. Please plan on 15-25 children ages 5–12. Activities can include dance classes, learning a fun new skill, classroom games, decorating cookies, craft projects, creating gifts for families during holidays, and more! Consider planning activities that are interactive and have multiple parts to accommodate short attention spans. 

We have some basic supplies available to use in the Playroom. If you need specific supplies, feel free to email and ask about availability. We generally have the following supplies available (please note that item availability is based on donations and may vary):
