Do you love spending time with kids? If so, we have a volunteer opportunity for you. We need volunteers to play with the children in childcare during a training for local foster parents. Children in childcare will be both biological and foster children of the foster parents attending the training.
This opportunity will provide you with a chance to interact with kids of all ages. There will be activities for all children that are age specific and appropriate, including arts and crafts, reading, and games.
We also provide snacks for you and the children.
We require a level 2 background check. We will email you a link to begin your background check. We pay for half of the background check. The other half will cost you roughly $10 and clears you to volunteer with us for up to a year.
Thank you!

About Foster Source
Location:
3879 E. 120th Ave. #218, Thornton, CO 80233, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide relevant training, resources and support to foster parents from a trauma-informed approach, giving them the skills and confidence to spark healing in vulnerable children.
Description
Foster Parent Support Groups - No one understands a foster parent better than fellow foster parents, and the private location provides a safe, judgement-free environment for foster parents to vent, ask advice, laugh and cry.
Foster Parent Trainings - Foster Parents always need continuing education hours, and support groups and trainings are often the best way to fulfill those requirements. Foster Source provides varied training seminars for continuing education and provides appropriate childcare.
Foster Parent Recruitment - the need for foster parents is always dire. Foster Source speaks at churches and organizations to provide brief information sessions to dispel myths that tend to turn families away. Providing current information in an open, non-committed environment enables more potential families to seek certification services from local agencies.
Meeting Needs - Counties are often limited in the resources they can provide. Funding is extremely limited and bureaucratic red tape keeps effective help grounded. Foster Source uses donated and raised funds to meet needs of local foster families and children.
