Volunteers Needed

Can we count on you? This wonderful program is being offered at no cost to local families. CCDC has coordinated free meals and snacks through CMS. It’s a true community effort!
 
 
Volunteers are needed to assist a couple hours during breakfast and lunch, clean-up, monitoring students, and production for the final show. No dance experience needed! Just a love for community and desire to help elementary-age students. Choose a time slot on a single day, multiple days, or the week. Every hour helps!
