South Salt Lake uses GivePulse as our volunteer management platform. Start a GivePulse account today and browse our current volunteer opportunities.
Childcare Volunteers
One of the main things preventing families from attending classes and events is a lack of childcare. Families, and especially women aren’t able to leave their house to attend a class when they don’t have a safe place to take their children. Childcare Volunteers are needed multiple days a week, typically for 1-3 hours at a time at times ranging from 10AM - 8PM. You will be working with families who are attending our programs and working with children of all ages.
Co-Op Volunteers
Help the Co-Op by volunteering with administrative projects or lend your skill set by helping others. For example, if you have computer skills and would like to help individuals at our computer lab, please contact us.
