A Note from the Executive Director
|
Dear first name,
You never forget the first time you volunteer with children: That first flush of uncertainty as you sit down next to them and ask what they’re doing. The hint of hope that appears behind their eyes as they perceive your interest in their world. And finally their joyful invitation to draw, to read, or to dance with them!
Of course, the joy goes both ways. A child’s open heart and bright face somehow call out the kid within each of us, and we remember how good it feels to trade productivity for play and anxiety for adventure — even if only for a short while.

The kids at Children’s Beach House are incredibly lucky to have the care and attention of our committed staff and volunteers through every step of their journey as a camper or a student. But the adults are also incredibly lucky to witness CBH kids finding their own ways of understanding and moving in the world. Every time a child asks a question, makes a mistake, or turns conventional wisdom on its head, we are reminded that life is always ready to be reinvented, reimagined, or restored.
If that sounds as needed and refreshing to you as it does to me, I invite you to inquire about the volunteer opportunities awaiting you at Children’s Beach House. I guarantee: There’s no more rewarding way to spend your time.
For the kids,
