The House of Friendship's Live and Learn Program is looking for independent, responsible, child-honouring volunteers to help in the children's program. If you have three hours a week to give, enjoy nurturing, and compassionately playing at a child's level, then you can play a valuable part at Live and Learn. Help this local support program for mothers and children living on a low income, as you lovingly hold, help care for, play, and learn with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers while their mothers participate in the Live and Learn group.
