Some Opportunities

Community Awareness & Donor Cultivation Events
Volunteers are needed to host community awareness and donor cultivation events
in their homes or in the community. The purpose of the event is to inform

community. Events are held quarterly or monthly, depending on host availability.
Grant Researchers
Volunteers are needed to research corporations and foundations with community
giving programs that might match up with Family & Children Services’ program needs.
Mentors to youth
Youth in our Independent Living Program (ILP) are preparing to exit or recently exited foster care or recently been emancipated. Those of us who have made this life transition know how much there is to learn and how challenging it can be. You can provide youth with encouragement, share your life lessons, and make a real difference in their success. In addition to mentoring, volunteers also offer workshops for the youth on cooking, budgeting, interviewing skills, relationships, and other useful topics.
