Volunteers are needed to assist with childcare during our monthly foster parent support groups. This is a great opportunity for groups looking for a regular volunteer schedule, whether monthly or through the year. You can make a direct impact in the lives of foster parents and children by providing families the opportunity to learn, connect, and grow in their journeys with other foster parents, as well as giving children in care the opportunity to play with other foster children.
Volunteers need to be prepared to work with children exhibiting trauma behaviors.
Support Groups are held on the following days:
Monday, June 19th; 5:15pm-7:45pm
Tuesday, July 11th; 5:15pm-7:45pm
Monday, August 21st; 5:15-7:45pm
Tuesday, September 12th; 5:15pm-7:45pm
Monday, October 16th; 5:15pm-745pm
Tuesday, November 14th; 5:15pm-7:45pm
Location: The Local Church, 1601 Galbraith Ave SE #304, Grand Rapids, MI 49546
Volunteers need to be at least 18 and complete a criminal background check (ICHAT) and CRC with Samaritas.
