The Family Connection is a human services program
that trains and supervises volunteer mentor teams to be effective
personal support networks for families with children transitioning
out of homelessness. The program’s intent is to have
a long-term effect that reaches beyond emergency services
to help break the cycle of multigenerational
poverty and its consequences.
Our volunteers help their families in many
ways. Working with them for a one year period for an average
of two hours a week, they may help find affordable housing,
provide transportation or childcare, and/or act as resources
for a variety of living skills.
The practical, emotional and social support
provided by the volunteers is invaluable to the long-term
stability and success of the family. The caring and commitment
of community members provide our clients with a level of personal
support that cannot be duplicated by professional service
providers.
Our ultimate goal is to help our families become
self-supporting members of our community now and for generations
to come.
Please join us in making a real difference in the life of
a Sonoma County family.
