Community of Care is the team that makes every Little Smiles program possible: volunteers and professionals who donate their time, from doctors, nutritionists and counselors to teachers, coaches and artists. We train, support and organize them so every child is met with care, consistency and respect.
What happens in Community of Care
Volunteers join the program that fits their skills: play, sport, tutoring, art, events or professional support. Everyone completes a short child safety training covering privacy and consent before working with children, and works alongside experienced team members.
Who it helps
Refugee children of all ages, and the volunteers themselves, who often say they get back more than they give.
