The Building Blocks committee has received funding to form a volunteer network to support families with young children (0-6 years old) on Cortes Island.
From our surveys and networking, some of the needs identified include

-play dates and social contact
-transportation for events/appointments
-support for children’s classes or clubs - reading, art, music, crafts.
-respite/support for families under stress (e.g. health problems, new baby etc.)

There is also an interest in intergenerational social connections, for example a volunteer grandparents program.
Flexible time commitments would be possible.
If you would like to be involved and want more young energy in your life, please contact
