Community Leadership Council
PCAO’s work is driven by the voices of their Community Leadership Council. The Community Leadership Council serves as an accessible avenue for people from diverse experiences and circumstances to share their gifts and make a meaningful contribution towards child abuse prevention work within the state.
Applications are rolling throughout the year depending on openings.
Volunteer
PCAO seeks volunteers interested in supporting us virtually. Current needs include:
Internships
PCAO can host High School through Graduate level interns in many areas of study, depending on the supervision requirements for your program. This work is not just for those intending to be a social worker- small nonprofits require skillsets in media, marketing, and communications; policy and government affairs; business management and finance; human resources and fundraising. If you have a skillset and a passion, we likely can co-create a project that meets your needs and helps vulnerable families at the same time.
