Volunteer Opportunities
Kids' Korner is a great place to volunteer in Lake County!
Are you looking for volunteer opportunities in Lake County or Waukegan? Volunteers are needed to serve as caregivers in Kids’ Korner. Hours are flexible. All volunteers undergo an extensive training program before they are assigned to work a shift as a caregiver. If you are interested in volunteering you can view our flyer here, please call Kids’ Korner at 847-377-3825. A Program Coordinator is responsible for recruiting, training, supervising, and evaluating the volunteers as well as for monitoring the overall operation of the program. The expenses of the program are funded through civil court filing fees and donations from the community.
*Volunteers may not have a criminal or custody case before the courts, may not be referred by the courts for community service, and may not be involved in a work release program.
For more information, visit the Kids' Korner page.
Court Services & Probation Support Volunteer Program
The Lake County Court Services and Probation Support Volunteer Program has been an important feature of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court for more than 30 years. In order to explore new volunteer opportunities and enhance those already existing, Cristian Gonzalez, Volunteer Coordinator of the Court Services and Probation Support Program, has begun a new recruitment campaign through the College of Lake County.
Volunteers will now be able to provide support to departments within the Court and assist various departments and personnel with Lake County Probation, including Adult and Juvenile. The Court Services and Probation Support Volunteer Program is seeking individuals who are looking to make an impact with their time, skills, and experience.
If you would like more information on volunteer opportunities or are willing to share your skills, please call Cristian Gonzalez at 847-543-2748. He can also be contacted though email at cgonzalez35@clcillinois.edu. Cristian will be happy to accept your application and your generous gift of volunteerism. If you know of anyone else who is looking for a chance to serve their community, please pass this information on to them!
