Volunteer

Without volunteers, the Children’s Village Of Sonoma County would have remained a dream. More than a hundred volunteers assisted Lia Rowley, the founder, to bring her vision to reality. Join us to continue to provide nurturing, stable homes for children in foster care.

Call 707-566-7044 for the next orientation meeting.

Village Life volunteers will need to participate in a basic training about our children,
have their references checked and go through background screening.

PROVIDE CLERICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE HELP TO STAFF

Housewarming parties (brunch, afternoon teas, wine and cheese) have been very successful in helping furnish the houses for the children. Equally successful are gatherings to introduce the Village to members of the community that have not heard about the Village. In both cases, the response has been heartwarming.
Materials for your party, custom invitations and a speaker will be arranged for your party. Please contact Donna at the The Children's Village office (707)566-7044.

A group of fifty volunteer sewers (ages 12-92) make high quality dolls crafted in the Waldorf style from cotton fabric and stuffed with lamb's wool. The volunteer creates the hair and clothing for each doll so each doll is unique. "Giving a friend for life" is the concept behind the Buddies, and the dolls are given to children when they are removed from their home by Child Protective services. The dolls can also be bought for $75.00 and the proceeds are used to buy the materials to make the dolls. They welcome cash donations to sustain the project in future years. Call the Children's Village Of Sonoma County office 707-566-7044 or email tcv_helpers@sonic.net.
