Activity Groups
The volunteers will lead recreational activities in and out of the house. (e.g.,
birthday parties, holiday events, arts/crafts, cooking, visits to sporting events /
cultural institutions / landmarks, so that there is a good mix of in-house and
out-of-house activities and events every day. Lead a discussion group on music,
drama, literature, or the arts. Stage a play; host a singing group, clowns, magic
shows, or whatever fun activity or event you may think of. Become a Foreign
Language Volunteer teaching English or another language. Assist with cooking
and serving meals / snacks. Organize a group from your office, religious
institution, school to host a special program for the families.
Caring Kitchen Volunteers
Help make our kitchen warm and welcoming! Our kitchen, probably just like
yours, is the one place in the House where everyone gathers, therefore, it requires
a lot of love and care. We need volunteers who will assist in our kitchen
and dining room area by visiting with families, making fresh coffee,
organizing and tidying the kitchen and pantry, and orienting groups providing
dinner for our families.
Development Office Assistance
Volunteers are needed to support our Director of Development and Special
Events Manager with our ongoing fundraising efforts. Duties may include filing,
phone banking, helping prepare large mailings, online research anymore.
Special Events Volunteers
Help at one of our annual fundraisers or special events. The Los Angeles Ronald
McDonald House’s Walk for Kids and MacTonight events are designed to raise
funds for the services and programs provided at the House. Help us to make
our events a success!
Family Meal Program
Families often spend all day at the hospital and when they return to the
House, have no energy to make dinner. Our Family Meal Program allows
volunteers to give families a night off by preparing dinner, sharing a meal and
cleaning up afterward. The children love meeting new people, and the parents
appreciate the chance to relax and enjoy the meal—with no dishes to do!
Family Support Office Assistance
Our front desk is a hub of activity and information. It is here you will greet and
interact with families and visitors, answer telephones, handle deliveries, and sort
and deliver mail; assure our lobby is clean and welcoming to our many
guests, children and families. The office is where our families come to check
out movies, books and games, and to get general information about
upcoming House activities. With experience and special training this position
may expand to giving tours, checking families in and out and assisting the
House Manager’s with special projects. Shifts for this position vary.
Van Drivers
We have a new van and we need drivers! Provide relief and
excitement to our families by driving our families to local shopping centers
and events. Often our families do not have a vehicle when they are in
Los Angeles or are new to the area so don't feel comfortable driving. Our
families truly appreciate any transportation that our volunteers are able to
provide. Shifts for this position vary. Volunteers must be 21 or older, have a
driver's license, be insured and provide a 3-year abstract of driving record.
Volunteer one at a time…
Or as many times as you’d like!
Kids 16 years-old and older are welcome.
Younger children can also volunteer with certain restrictions.
