My favorite part of volunteering is helping with outdoor activities. I get to see the children’s faces light up with excitement and happiness!
OUR PROGRAM
Become a Volunteer
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
FIRST 5 Family Resource Centers are places in our community where children, parents, and caregivers can learn and grow together. Family Resource Center volunteers support families and help ensure that children are happy, healthy, and prepared for school and life. We are always looking for passionate individuals to share their compassion and talents with the young children and families on our community.
No matter what your age or background, there are plenty to get involved at your local Family Resource Center:
- Plant a healthy vegetable garden
- Bring books to life during story time
- Get crafty with fun art projects
- Make exercise fun (yoga, Zumba, Tai Chi)
- Much, much more!
Get Involved
Whether you are a college student, parent, grandparent or individual looking to give back, there are many ways to get involved and share your talents.
FIRST 5 Santa Clara County is collaborating with Generation to Generation, a five-year national campaign to mobilize a million adults, 50 years and older, to volunteer in their communities.

Generation to Generation
FIRST 5 Santa Clara County is collaborating with Generation to Generation, a five-year national campaign to mobilize a million adults, 50 years and older, to volunteer in their communities.

Why become a Volunteer
As a volunteer at a FIRST 5 Family Resource Center, you will support families and help ensure children are happy, healthy, and prepared for success in school. Research shows children need four to six involved, caring adults in their lives to fully develop emotionally and socially. The involvement of a reliable, caring adult help children develop life skills, develop higher self-esteem, and event have better grades in school.
