Befriend someone who is highly motivated to bring their family out of poverty. You, in turn, will offer whatever support, skills, and resources (not money) you can to support that effort.
When a child or an adult of diminished capacity is missing, this team is called onto work side by side with law enforcement to conduct ground searches.
Opportunities also include child advocates, special events, e-flyer distribution, and education outreach services. Volunteers receive extensive training through out the year with law enforcement regularly.
High school volunteers, under the supervision of Respite Supervisors, care for, comfort, nurture, and engage with the children while parents receive a “break” from their care giving responsibilities.
Volunteers provide regular breaks to exhausted and stressed caregivers who are overwhelmed by their selfless 24/7 care. Volunteers provide breaks of 2 to 4 hours or more per week – which are lifesaving for the caregivers and help to reduce the chance of premature institutionalization of the loved one being cared for.
Volunteers can serve through a variety of non-profit social service or governmental agencies and non-profit service organizations and institutions which are designated as Volunteer Stations. The stations include schools, libraries, day-care centers, hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers, local and state government and other community service organizations.
