Support From Cougs 4 Kids
During onboarding, a team contact will share program context, safety guidance, and useful tools. Afterward, check-ins will provide space for questions and feedback. Likewise, volunteers are encouraged to suggest practical improvements. Consequently, you will contribute as part of a team rather than working alone.

This is an unpaid volunteer position. Before service begins, Cougs 4 Kids may require orientation, a background check, and applicable youth-safety training. Finally, the recruiting team will confirm all requirements before you accept the assignment.
