Volunteer
Give your time to meet real needs for the children and families we serve.
Texas Baptist Children’s Home relies on friends, volunteers, donors, and supporters to give those in need the support and structure they need.
When you volunteer, you give your time to meet real needs that directly affect the lives of the children and families we serve. Whether you coordinate a food drive or paint walls in a cottage, you are making a difference.
Some volunteer roles may require a background check, especially those that place volunteers near children in care.

Volunteer questions
Can I volunteer to fulfill court-ordered community service hours?
Under our policy, we do not provide court-ordered community service hours.
Can I bring my children when I volunteer?
Some volunteer activities are marked “family friendly,” and children are welcome. Other activities may not be appropriate for children under 16. When in doubt, check with us. We do not provide child care for volunteers.
Why can’t I work directly with the children in care?
Opportunities to interact with children are very limited, for several reasons. Under state law, a full background check is required before a volunteer can have contact with children. Even then, we place the interests of each child above all else, and there are often privacy and confidentiality concerns.
How old do I need to be to volunteer?
There is no age limit, although teenagers must be with an adult at all times. Opportunities for children 12 and under are limited to “family friendly” activities.
Do I have to come to your campus to volunteer?
No. You can organize a drive for items on our needs list anywhere, at any time, as an individual, church, business, or group. Just keep our volunteer coordinator aware of your plans.
