Current Volunteers:

As you know, the children who come into the playroom are special.  They have been through a very traumatic event and that trauma effects them in many ways.  As a volunteer at the CAC, we ask you to attend  Continued Training sessions and that you read several key articles to help equip you to best nurture the children we serve.   Below are the links to these articles.
