The 2018 hurricane season has been extraordinarily active in parts of the U.S., with Hurricane Florence currently impacting millions in the Carolinas. As this natural disaster unfolds, the staff here at VolunteerMatch is doing its part to ensure that, if you are in an affected community, you are prepared and safe. And if you are looking to help with disaster relief efforts, you know about the most effective ways to contribute.
Project Safe’s child care providers offer safe and reliable babysitting services to shelter and outreach clients of Project Safe who are receiving counseling, tutoring, or are attending support groups. This is one of the most vital volunteer positions Project Safe offers.
Volunteers must be comfortable caring for children of all ages without direct supervision and watching multiple children at a time. This opportunity requires between 6-10 hours per month. We’re always looking for responsible male volunteers to act as positive role models for the children! Availability around holidays and during UGA breaks is preferred.
We host trainings for this position once every 3-4 months, depending on need. This position does require a $16 national background check run through Project Safe. To be notified about the next training, contact Kendall Worman at kworman@project-safe.org!
