Group volunteers
Group volunteers are not required to obtain a TB test, background check, or attend a volunteer orientation. Volunteers are allowed to be on-campus twice before they are required to receive the needed tests and documentation. Group projects range from landscaping, sorting donations, throwing a birthday party for our children, babysitting, crafts with our residents and many more options. Groups interested in volunteering at Seton Home either directly/indirectly with the residents will contact the Community Relations Manager preferably at least three weeks prior to the volunteer event.

Birthday Parties
Our goal is to have a group or organization host a birthday party for our children each month. If you are interested in hosting a party, you and your group will be responsible for providing cake, food & drinks, decorations, and paper goods (plates, forks, cups). Examples of birthday party activities include arts & crafts, games, moon bounce, face painting, and pony rides. Volunteers help host the party with pre and post set-up. You and your volunteers will also have the opportunity to see all your hard work result in a wonderful party for our children! It is preferred to have at least a month planning with Seton Home staff before the date of party.
