Our organization needs flexible volunteers who can sit with children in foster care while DFCS case managers look for placement. This will require a full background screening and short training.
It is often last minute when we learn a child will be in the DFCS office during the day. We need a group of volunteers who will be notified by email and text that a child is in need of supervision. The volunteer will then come to the DFCS office and spend time with the child during a time that can be scary for them. Volunteers will not provide counseling or ask questions of the child; they will distract the child with fun activities until a case manager is able to take them to their new foster placement.
This volunteer opportunity is best for individuals who are flexible during the day.
