Volunteers are critical to the effective provision of services at The Nurturing Center. They are interwoven throughout all aspects of our agency providing direct and indirect support of young children and families we work with. Whether they are working with a child one-on-one in one of our classrooms, planting flowers, aiding in the redesign of our playground, or bringing special sweets from the local baker, they are cherished and supported by The Nurturing Center staff. If you would like to help, download our volunteer application. For more information, contact Kathye Holder at (803)771-4160, x12 or kholder@thenurturingcenter.org.
