Currently Seeking Friday Evening Visitation Supervisors. 5:00 to 8:00, although shifts come in a variety of times. 6-7, 6-8, and 5-8 shifts available, mostly 6-8 at this time. Our waiting list has been waiting for volunteers for months. Some kids haven't seen their parent for over 6 months because of a lack of volunteers.
Children's Rights Collaborative provides supervised visitations for parents and children who, without our center AND our volunteers, would not see each other at all. We provide a safe, secure, child-friendly site for visits to happen. It's quite easy and very rewarding.
Our Volunteers sit with the families and take notes, not interacting with the family. Keeping in mind the families that are here want to be here they are not forced so they are a happy group most of the time. The notes are then typed and can be requested by attorneys, guardians, magistrates, and judges. Volunteers can definitely, and we encourage them, to play with the kids before and after the visits while they wait for a parent and to make them feel comfortable when they first arrive.
Volunteers need to have a background check done. You must be 24 or older. Neat handwriting comes in handy, must have good hearing, patience to sit for 1-3 hours, be able to climb stairs and possibly do some walking, we have a gym and a playground. You must be able to be impartial and non-judgmental. This is a great place for seniors, retirees, civic groups, college students, fraternities, sororities etc. We have no required days or hours you must sign up for. You sign up for your own hours, we do have visits that are shorter than 3 hours too. We train you. First, we would have you come in and just observe with another volunteer, you might find this isn’t the place for you and this way you and CRC know right away. Please contact us for more information or to set up a visitation to shadow, warning, most can’t resist volunteering after they check us out.
