Volunteers are the heart and backbone of Tu Nidito Children and Family Services; in fact we could not provide the level of support to seriously ill children and those grieving the death of a loved one without the support of volunteers.  

Volunteers are students, parents, grandparents, therapists, realtors, business owners, clergy, retirees, hospital employees, servers, hospice employees, court reporters, funeral directors, teachers, school counselors, nurses, state employees, university employees, massage therapists, etc. Volunteers come from all walks of life but the one thing they all have in common… they come to Tu Nidito to make a difference in the life of a seriously ill or grieving child.

Volunteers attend comprehensive training, which equips them with the tools needed to assist our children and families. Upon completion of training, volunteers serve as facilitators in our support groups, work one-on-one as friends, playmates, mentors and tutors with seriously ill children or their siblings, provide support to the caregivers of seriously ill children, take children on outings and assist with family camp and social events.
