Help kids grow! Much more than just being a caretaker or babysitter, this opportunity is about setting a foundation for a child’s social and emotional development. Volunteer for one or more weekly groups and experience children's growth over time! Opportunities exist to work with children of all ages, from infant to middle school-aged.
- Administer age-appropriate developmental lessons (materials, training and instruction provided by The Center).
- Ensure child safety during activities.
- Opportunities available during the day and in the evenings, 1-5 hours per week.
- Due to the importance of consistency for the children in our programs, we ask that volunteers commit to the entire length of the program for which they are volunteering (lengths vary by program).

About The Center for Children and Families
Location:

Mission Statement
The mission of The Center for Children and Families is to ensure safety, well-being and permanency for children. We are a merger of three previously independent agencies (Second Chance Homes, Forever Families, and Arrowhead Psychological) working together to serve vulnerable and in-crisis families in our community.
Description
The Center for Children and Families provides services in three areas. The Second Chance Homes Program provides 24-hour staffed sober and supportive transitional housing for families in recovery from substance abuse. Services allow children to remain in parent care while the parent is in recovery and/or to return children more quickly to parental care. The Forever Families Program provides supportive services for foster/adoptive families and also provides supportive/financial services to youth aging out of the foster care system (ages 16-24). Our mental health and clinical services division provides individual neuropsychological assessment, mental health assessments, and parent child bonding assessments for families as well as individual and family mental health services. We also provide a myriad of therapeutic groups including Seeking Safety, Celebrating Families, Circle of Trust, and Transparenting education (for divorcing/separating/co-parenting families). Lastly, the agency often provides community training on the brain chemistry of addiction, team building and trauma informed environments.
