The Family Success Centers, located in Clementon, Blackwood, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway, and Camden, are community-based, family-centered neighborhood gathering places where any community resident can go for family support, information, and services. Through the Family Success Center, we provide families with convenient access to a wide array of services and family friendly activities offered on a daily basis. Here are a few ideas of activities that can be led by volunteers in our Family Success Centers:
- Tutoring children

Born to ReadApply Now
If you love reading, enjoy working with children, and can commit to one hour of volunteering per week, then this is the perfect volunteer position for you....and your time and energy will make a real difference in the lives of the children we serve! Reading Volunteers are placed in the same classroom for one hour a week for the course of the school year. Volunteers read with children one-to-one promoting literacy skills and encouraging a love of reading.
We are currently recruiting parent volunteers and community volunteers to commit to one hour a week of volunteer time in one of our Head Start classrooms (we have 9 different Head Start locations in Camden City and Camden County) to read one-to-one with children. A one hour volunteer training is provided and background checks are required for all volunteers.
