Becoming an "official volunteer" means you go through the below process so you can directly care for a child through relational activities of tutoring, mentoring, transporting, etc.

​

In Africa, the Masai tribe have a greeting. Instead of saying "Hi, How Are you?".  They say, "And how are the children?"  They say this because they know their society is only as strong as the well-being of their children. Their response is always "the children are well".  In our culture, we can't respond in this way.

​

We are re-establishing the village it takes to raise a child. Especially a child from a hard place. We do this through equipping volunteers to be life-lines to kids and foster parents when they need it most.

Our volunteers provide a variety of help.  If you have a skill, talent, interest, or passion, please contact us to see if we can find a fit for you. We like to steer volunteers into caring directly for a foster family and a child in foster care in their home.  We do this through a process called Care Communities. Click here to learn more. 

Here are some of the roles we look to fill:

• Mentor/tutor children

• Aid kids and families with transportation

• Oversee children during foster parent training and support groups

FAQ:

•  If you are a member of a Care Community and will be alone with the child in our care at anytime, you must complete this process. 

• If you have any questions/concerns with the process, please call the office and ask for Paul.

• We do this to comply with state regulations of anyone interacting with children in custody of a county
