Volunteer OpportunitiesDevelop a virtual mentoring relationship with a youth as he or she transitions, or begins the transition process, from foster care to post-secondary training. Our volunteer mentors are from all walks of life. They are people who want to give back, but need a means to do so that fits with their busy professional life. If you wish to donate your time and talents, please give us a call. Volunteers provide valuable support to our community programs. There may be qualifying criteria for some volunteer positions, see our volunteer page for a listing of opportunities. If you have a product, skill, service, or connection we’ll be happy to discuss how you can help the CIAO program and the youth we serve. Call (734) 858-1580 for more information.
