YOU can make difference in the life of a child!
Do you love children? Are you available for one shift each month (either 5 hours or a 10 hour overnight)? Then this might just be the opportunity you are looking for.
Since 2010, Hand in Hand Safe Place has served children who have been separated from their primary caregivers due to suspected abuse, neglect or other reasons, in our 24 hour emergency shelter.
Safe Place, provides a safe landing for these precious children who may be afraid, confused and might otherwise be separated from siblings due to the shortage of foster homes in Snohomish County.
During their stay (up to 72 hours excluding weekends and holidays), our Safe Place Care Coordinators are a critical part to providing safety and security by caring, safe adults. As a volunteer care coordinator, you will help facilitate health screenings, resource kids with clothes, shoes and other needed personal items and have fun while going on field trips, playing games or creating art/craft projects at the home.
Want more information? We'd love to talk to you about this amazing, life-changing opportunity (for you and the kids we serve).

Mission Statement
To support children and families in need through the foundational Christian teachings of respect, unconditional love, and compassion. We exist to provide hope and opportunity for children and families in need by providing services focused on protection, provision, and permanence.
Description
In 2010, Hand in Hand was born from a group of foster parents, social workers and child advocates seeking to make positive, systemic changes in how children enter and are cared for in the foster system.
Today, Hand in Hand supports children and families in crisis through the foundational Christian teachings of respect, unconditional love, and compassion. We exist to foster hope and opportunity for children and families in crisis by providing services focused on protection, provision and permanence. This is our purpose.
Our purpose can be seen in every emergency food box we distribute, in each hour of after school academic support we provide, in every soccer game played, and every utility bill we cover so a family can stay in their home.
It can be found in our expanded Foster Support Services created to increase our reach into the foster network.
And our purpose can be found in the staff, donors, volunteers, community partners and board members who carry this compassion and commitment with them every day.
Through Hand in Hand Safe Place, our Outreach Program and our newly developed Foster Support Services, we provide extensive resources and refuge to all children and families in need throughout our community.
