Parenting Support Counselors Needed!

Save to Favorites

Help strengthen families and prevent child abuse.
Become a Volunteer Parent Support Counselor!

Family Paths, Inc. mission is to strengthen family relationships by providing mental health & supportive services with respect, integrity, compassion and hope in Alameda County. We are currently recruiting Volunteers for our Parenting Stress Helpline to help us continue to fulfill our mission.

Last year with the help of helpline volunteers we assisted over 3500 families with counseling support, parenting tips & strategies, information & referrals to needed community resources, & referrals to Family Paths mental health services and parent education classes.

This is a rewarding volunteer opportunity for:
* Students (in the counseling, social work and other human service fields) who want to gain
valuable work experience
* Parents/caregivers who want to support other parents/caregivers
* Retirees who want to share their life experience & skills
* Others who want to make a difference in the lives of parents and families

Bilingual and experience working with parents and families is a plus (but not required).

Volunteers do need to have proficient computer skills to complete the tasks related to the Helpline.

All our Volunteer Parent Support Counselors receive 30+ hours of training.

If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please visit us online and fill out a VOLUNTEER APPLICATION via our website: https://familypaths.org/how-to-help/helpine-volunteer/

You can also contact Vanessa, vhernandez@familypaths.org if you have questions.

We will be hosting an in-person VOLUNTEER INFORMATION SESSION on July 24, 2023 and possibly in August. If you complete an application, information about volunteering and the information session will be sent to you.

We look forward to hearing from you!!!!!
