Volunteers Needed

Volunteers play a huge role at Bivona—they help with almost every aspect of our operation. Here are some of the ways you can help:

Bookkeeper: responsible for all bookkeeping duties, and serves as financial assistant to the Executive Director. Full charge responsibility for closing the books and preparing accrual basis financial statements monthly and annually; includes preparing all bank reconciliations, required journal entries, and maintaining the fixed asset ledger.

People skilled in public relations, office work, computer technical support, and development.

Help with children who visit Bivona: keeping them company in the waiting room, playing games, reading books, or just chatting.

We ask you to fill out a Volunteer Application and, because of the sensitive nature of our work with children, agree to a criminal background check.
