PITTSBURGH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIESVolunteers Make an Amazing Impact

At The Children's Institute, volunteers play a vital role in all of our programs. We are proud of the individuals, groups, organizations, and corporations who choose to give their time and abilities to help others. The time they contribute and the help they provide are an amazing gift to the children and families we serve. 
 

By becoming a Pittsburgh volunteer, you are integral to the work we do and are truly a part of our mission:
To Heal. To Teach. To Empower. To Amaze.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering and internships at The Children's Institute. To protect the health and safety of our kids, families, volunteers, interns, and team members and to ensure that we can provide the best experience possible, our opportunities are temporarily suspended until the spring 2022 semester. We are hopeful we will be able to open our doors at that time. Our website will reflect any changes that will take place. We will continue to accept applications. Please know, however, that our current waiting list is extensive, and placement upon reopening is not guaranteed. We ask that interested individuals please check back at the end of November 2021.
