We are looking for volunteers who wish to support families in their community! In Douglas County we greatly need Host Families and Family Coaches to keep up with the frequent requests from our community for support!
Family Coaches: Provide support to both the parents we are serving and the volunteers in the circle of support by checking in with all parties through phone calls, emails, or getting together to ensure that parents have the support they need to meet their goals and that volunteers have the support they need to serve the family well.
Host Families Are trained and approved to support families by providing short-term care for children in their homes. This care is often babysitting during the day or very short-term requests often, for one or two nights.
Family Friends/Mentors: Provide friendship, resources, and support to parents, children, or other volunteers through getting together, encouragement, transportation, meals, babysitting (not in the volunteer's home), etc.
Resource Friends: Give tangible items or support the movement through gift cards, meals, assistance with Safe Families events, or errands. Resource friends support the circle by helping families served or volunteers ensure that all needs are met.
Ambassadors: Promote and facilitate volunteer service in their churches or community groups. Help build awareness of our program and help build the volunteer pool throughout our region so that we can constantly increase our capacity to serve and meet the needs of our communities.
