Support in sharing the work of Characters of Character to various platforms to bring awareness to the organization.

Characters of Character is shared nation wide. Our focus is in Tennessee, Illinois and Texas where we donate Superhero activity boxes to Children's Hospitals. These activity boxes include an activity book, water color paints and brush, an easel, a canvas that says I AM SUPER, crayons, a character lanyard, superhero mask and stickers, and an autographed greeting card to the child patient.

You may have family or friends in these states who you can share our project with? Word of mouth is powerful and we work tirelessly raising funds to be able to donate these. Looking for donations and sponsors to support these boxes. Would you like to make phone calls to ask for such? Are you an advocate to make a difference in the life of a child?

We'll provide you a script for the phone calls and information as needed.

Volunteering with us will help fulfill your service hours and do your heart good if you believe in our mission of providing a firm foundation for children to establish strong civic values. This looks different today because we are working with Children's Hospitals.

You can also share us with elementary staff to let them know about our organization. Our newsletters offer FREE content to use in a classroom, too.

Sound good, let's talk!

A time commitment would be 1-5 hours a week based on your capacity
to be involved. YOUR voice matters and you'll be building a platform for our children, our future leaders of tomorrow.

We have an immediate need for auxiliary volunteers. It would be helping with cleaning cages, dishes, laundry or food prep. Individuals who are eager for more can become an animal care technician. This requires training and commitment to be able to care for and handle animals. We also have many other opportunities for individuals to help with depending on their interests and abilities. Please reach out to Christina Young at opievolunteer@gmail.com. This is a great opportunity to gain hands on experience with wildlife rehabilitation and help save precious wild lives around us.

Our curriculum covers baby health, wellness, development, and safety and includes activities moms can do with their babies to promote bonding and development so that their children will be kindergarten-ready when the time comes. Mentors also share lessons on parenting and life skills and help connect moms to other resources if needed to assist with housing, transportation, education/job training, counseling, etc. We are in need of women willing to mentor moms in-person as well as women willing to mentor moms virtually using platforms such as Facetime, Zoom, etc.
