Therefore, we do not have volunteers in direct care positions. Though we allow volunteers to work with the children, we limit this number in order to maintain a familiar, comfortable homelike atmosphere, decreasing a high number of new faces. We do appreciate you and your willingness to serve! » Download the Volunteer Application PDF File Employment Watson Children's Shelter is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to a positive, healthy, child-centered work environment.
