Volunteer: Childcare Support for Special Needs Parenting Group

Parenting a child with special needs can be both rewarding and overwhelming—and every parent deserves a chance to rest, connect, and learn in a supportive space. Appalachian Banner Academy is creating a program that provides childcare during our special needs parenting groups, so parents can focus fully on the resources, discussions, and encouragement being offered.

We’re looking for caring, patient individuals to help make this possible. During these sessions, you’ll spend time with amazing kids of all abilities in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. The role isn’t about therapy or instruction—it’s simply about playing, engaging, and building positive connections through activities like games, crafts, or reading.

Your presence helps give parents something priceless: peace of mind and the freedom to learn, share, and recharge. By offering your time, you’ll make a direct impact on families who need support more than ever—and help us strengthen our community of love, understanding, and inclusion.
