Volunteer With C.I.T.Y.

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Do you have a specific skillset or interest? Consider joining one of our committees! Current Committee’s Include:

Events Committee:

This fun group is responsible for coordinating some of CITY of Support’s favorite annual traditions, including our CITY Tribute Concert, Graduation Celebration & Parent Retreat.  With additional volunteers, we may be able to create additional events throughout the year!
 
Parent Advisory Board (parents only):
This group of parents helps to keep our caregivers at the focus of every project we initiate at CITY of Support.  They weigh in with our leadership team and help to promote projects that focus on 1) caregiver connections, 2) community outreach, and 3) family support/respite.
 
Education Committee (professionals only):
This group of professionals help to identify opportunities for parent and professional learning, contribute to our continuing education programs, and guide our areas of focus for blogs/webinars/retreats.
 
Fundraising Committee:
Because we are an organization run that offers all of its resources and programs at no charge for parents, we depend on the support and contributions from our community partners.  This resourceful group helps to curate the most meaningful ways individuals and corporations can donate to CITY of Support and make a lasting impact on the families we serve.

Genero-C.I.T.Y. Boxes

Our DIY cards have always been appreciated by family and friends. NOW, we have created a way to spread cheer throughout the community with our GENEROC.I.T.Y. Boxes. This community service project is simple:

  1. Purchase a package online and receive 12 DIY card kits with all of the instructions and supplies you’ll need.
  2. Select the recipients of your choice using our enclosed options (i.e. children’s hospitals, nursing homes, veterans).
  3. Send the completed cards back to C.I.T.Y. of Support with the provided envelope, and we will distribute them on your behalf to these grateful community partners.

Kids AND adults can get in on the fun and make a significant impact spreading joy and kindness in our community. Our packages are now available with online ordering and shipping options, and soon, we hope to be able to host in-person card-making events where we can create even more connections with our GENEROC.I.T.Y. Boxes!

Keep an eye on C.I.T.Y’s Event Calendar for details, and/or email: hello@cityofsupport.org if your classroom/scout troop/company is interested in hosting an in-person event. We will do our best to accommodate your request!

Help us assemble our “Welcome to our C.I.T.Y.” kits, developed specifically for brand-new parents whose newborn has been referred for therapy, especially following a NICU stay.

We create gift bags for families being discharged from hospitals across Chicagoland congratulating them on the birth of their child, introducing them to local resources, and welcoming them to our supportive community.
