From I25, take the Cimmarron Exit West. Continue West on Cimmarron St/Hwy 24 for about 1 mile. At the intersection of 21st Street and Hwy 24, take a left on 21st Street. Take the first right onto Bott Ave. Continue on Bott for a short distance and take a right on Robinson St. CPCD's building is on the right. 

This opportunity is very flexible and is perfect for those who are only available in the evenings or those who would prefer to have a flexible rather than a set schedule.  Youth volunteers 12 years and older are welcome. Volunteers spend precious one-on-one time with the children, participating in activities such as art projects, story time, table-top games, "science experiments" at the sand and water table, playing dress-up in the "house" corner, or entertaining the children with a puppet show!
