Volunteer Opportunities

We’re always in need of enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help inside and outside the classrooms. Below are some ways you can help.

2023 HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING

Every winter, the Carole Robertson Center for Learning partners with our friends and supporters to host a Holiday Gift-Giving Drive that ensures children and youth enrolled in our early childhood education and youth development programs receive a special gift during the holiday season.

Donate or volunteer to make a child’s holiday brighter!

Thank you for helping us ring in a cheerful holiday season for Chicago’s families.
