Give a few afternoons.
Gain real experience.
Our front desk is the first face families and visitors see when they walk through our doors. As a Front Desk Volunteer, you'll help create a warm welcome while building hands-on experience in a mission-driven nonprofit — and earn a recommendation letter for your résumé or college applications.
A trusted role, right at the heart of the school.
School of Imagination & Happy Talkers is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pediatric therapy center and inclusive preschool in Dublin. We provide speech, occupational, and behavioral therapy alongside early education — helping children with developmental needs, and their families, get the right support as early as possible. Every role here is part of that mission.
Warmly greet families and visitors, answer and route phone calls, manage the front door and check-in, and provide general front-desk and administrative support.
Weekday afternoons, approximately 3:00–5:45 PM. One or more days per week, depending on your availability. We ask for an initial 3-month (12-week) commitment with regular, dependable hours, renewable based on performance.
Meaningful, hands-on experience in a professional nonprofit, a strong résumé and college-application builder, and a recommendation letter upon completion of your commitment.
Because we are a state-licensed facility serving children, every volunteer completes a few onboarding steps before their first day: a Live Scan background check, a TB test or risk assessment, immunization records, and Mandated Reporter training. Our HR team walks you through all of it — and we reimburse required onboarding costs (Live Scan and, if needed, a TB test) after 30 days of active volunteering, receipt-based, up to $125.
