We are seeking skilled and passionate volunteers to aid the educators in the Infant and Toddler classroom (from to 2 to 24 months old) and the Preschool classroom (from 2 to 4 years old). Children are learning English but speak mostly Spanish-- Spanish language proficiency is preferred but not required.
Sessions run Monday-Thursday, 9:00Am - 11:30Am and 12:30PM -3:00PM. Please consider making a minimum a weekly commitment as children need stability and time to establish trust in adults.
The mission of The Family Place is to empower low income families and to foster the optimal development of their young children through education and support services.
Selected candidates will be asked to provide a background check and a TB test result upon beginning their volunteer commitment.

Mission Statement
The mission of The Family Place is to empower low-income families and to foster the optimal development of their young children through educational and support services.
Description
The Family Place (TFP) is a community-based, multicultural family resource and support agency for low-income expectant parents and families with young children (under 5 years of age). These families are newly-arrived from Central America and Mexico. TFP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established in 1980 as the District's first family support agency. Over the years, in response to client needs, TFP programs have evolved to address the issues of: linguistic and economic isolation; low literacy; school readiness; family instability; social/community isolation; access to mainstream services; physical and developmental health of children; and civic involvement. In the past year, nearly 600 families partnered with TFP in a culturally-respectful environment to become empowered and move forward in their efforts to achieve long term self-sufficiency.
