VolunteerHelp Needed:
Children in
foster care need your time, talents and problem solving abilities. Communities are full of people with enormous
talents and
gifts to share that could benefit children in foster care. People like
you interested in helping deposit time, talents, skills or financial
resources.
Volunteer and list a job on your resume that will give future employers a reason to hire you.
Our Volunteer Workforce Program connects you with others in the business community. If you
want to connect to a
network of people in your community while volunteering your time,
our Volunteer Workforce Program is for you. This program creates
connections through
sharing
skills and connects unmet needs of foster
youth with untapped
resources in
the community.
- Gift Time: Volunteers deposit their
time for a specific date, time or event. Corporations donate a team
of individuals to commit community services hours for an
outreach
activity on behalf of children in foster care
- Gift Talents: From professional
photography,
dining adventures, writing a child’s life story, driving lessons,
hair
make over, dinner with your family, giving music lessons, lending
professional advice and more, everyone has a valuable skill to
share
- Gift Goods: From gift cards to
technology and even book publishing, your gift means something good to a
child in foster care
- Gift Events: Corporations donate their
organization or a team of individuals to commit to a specific
outreach
activity on behalf of children in foster care
