HumanKind's Early Head Start supports families and provides free, full-time childcare for infants and toddlers in the Lynchburg area. This free program promotes physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development for three and older infants and toddlers. Our Early Head Start (EHS) volunteers are compassionate, dedicated individuals who give 20+ hours each year to bring joy, comfort, and enrichment to the children we serve. Whether they are feeding infants, reading stories, playing instruments, or engaging in playful activities, these volunteers support our teams by nurturing our youngest learners' social, emotional, and cognitive development. Their presence brings warmth, learning, and laughter into our classrooms—and makes a lasting impact on every child they reach.
This program requires a commitment to 20 hours a year as well as training, background checks, TB screenings, and fingerprinting all reimbursed by HumanKind. This process may take up to 40 days depending on your timeliness in responding and background check returns from the government. We walk you through each and every step!
