Volunteering at EarlyEd's Toy Library
Do you want to make a difference to young children of all abilities and their families living across Northern Sydney, to:
- save families money (because they don’t need to buy toys)
- save families time storing and managing toys at home (especially if space is tight)
- help children who are finding learning challenging or who have a disability (find fun ways to support their development through play)
- reduce waste going into the environment (especially from hard plastics) and
- help families connect up with others in their community?
Then come join our volunteer team at the Cubby House Toy Library.
As a volunteer for the Cubby House Toy Library you could be:
The Cubby House Toy Library has been operating for nearly 45 years, and always kept our membership fees low, because we have had volunteers. Some stay for years and some just come for a short time while they can. EarlyEd and the families value them all.
You can work:
- weekly or fortnightly when the library is open or other services are being offered
- or you might like to work on a special project for a limited time period.
You have a team behind you helping you know what to do.
Training and ongoing support is offered to all volunteers.
To start volunteering at our toy library call us on 99232727 or visit contact us.
