A Child's Place is a community organization which works in collaboration with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to provide support and to advocate for the 2800 Charlotte-Mecklenburg students (and their families) who are homeless.

A Child’s Place provides education programs, support services (food, clothing, medical, dental, etc.) and advocates for children and their families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Volunteer Needs:
Volunteer opportunities include: tutoring, providing snacks, assisting with fundraisers, or helping families move into their new home.
