Many non-direct care opportunities are present for volunteers at the Child Care Center including: reading to children, sanitizing toys, cleaning windows, grounds keeping, laundry, and many other "housekeeping" tasks. The Center follows the Ottumwa Community School District calendar and is therefore, closed on certain holidays, including Spring Break and Christmas Break. The Center is also not open during the summer months when school is not in session.
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. Volunteers must also be able to sign a volunteer waiver indicating they are free of communicable diseases and have no criminal or child abuse record.
