The strength of personal relationships
help to create a context in which families can become self-supporting
members of our community, now and for generations to come.
Overview:
By giving about 2 hours of their time per week, each volunteer
becomes part of a team which is matched to a family committed
to recovery from homelessness, violence, addiction and other
trauma.
As a team member, volunteers provide practical
assistance such as providing tutoring and mentoring for
children, helping parents enroll in school, assisting with
transportation, childcare and budgeting. Volunteers model
low-cost ways to spend quality family time such as picnics,
game nights or other family strengthening activities.
We provide initial trainings and on-going
facilitation and support through our staff of Family Support
Coordinators.
