Volunteer with us

Our Crew greatly appreciates the involvement of volunteers, as they are an indispensable part of our organization. Their contributions over the years have been invaluable in ensuring that our families feel both comfortable and supported, whether it's on the ice, at a farm, or in the ball pit. Together with our staff, they foster a playful environment that creatively engages participants with openness and a genuine enthusiasm for each child's interests and ideas. Volunteer positions may vary depending on the season and upcoming programming.

We welcome individuals, corporate partnerships, and teenage volunteers looking to fulfill service hour requirements while in high school. If you're interested in learning more about these opportunities and any others that may arise, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Abigail Neer, at abigail@extremekidsandcrew.org.
