For three decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been serving families with seriously ill children by providing a home-away-from-home at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. From our beginnings as a grassroots movement established by a partnership between volunteers and local McDonald’s Owner/Operators, our Charity has served thousands of families in their deepest times of need.

At Coral Springs Mothers of Multiples we are committed to supporting parents of multiples in Coral Springs and its surrounding areas. Volunteers are needed for events that we hold throughout the year. Our purpose is to provide understanding, guidance, and education for our members in matters unique to raising multiple birth children. The volunteers would receive service hours that would help to fulfill the requirements not only for graduation (as required) but also for the Florida BRIGHT FUTURES SCHOLARSHIP program.

Translating/Tutorial Program:  Each Saturday morning students meet to help migrant families and local doctors communicate at the Caridad Health Clinic.  Students also help by baby-sitting children of patients while parents are busy with the doctor.  Often Spanish speaking students help older members of the families learn English.  Although open to everyone, this is an excellent opportunity for students in the Spanish curriculum to practice and perfect Spanish.

We prepare and motivate future voters through nationally acclaimed curriculum in K-12 with hands-on voting experience. We need volunteers to join our high school student advisory board, participate in fundraising activities, and join our think tank. Minimum Age: 14 years old
