Volunteers are an important part of the work of
Missouri Baptist Children’s Home. The aim of the Volunteer Program is
to provide a quality experience for the volunteer, with numerous
opportunities for service and personal growth. The Volunteer Program
provides a Christian with the opportunity for definite hands-on
mission work.

The volunteer works under the supervision of the
Children’s Home staff. The staff works with the volunteer to determine
a schedule and work program that is acceptable both to the volunteer
and the agency.
Just about every ability and talent a person has
can be used to advantage at Missouri Baptist Children’s Home.
