Amethyst Place is long-term, supportive housing for single moms in recovery (overcoming substance use disorder) and their children. Moms (and often older children) have classes and group activities in evenings and to make it possible for them to attend and focus on learning, we provide children's activities for the younger kids during those evening meetings. We need volunteers to assist our staff member(s) in giving these kids the attention they need and crave.
Most children's activities occur weeknights from 6 - 7 or 8 pm but all shifts are listed on an online calendar so volunteers can choose the nights that work best for their schedules. Staff will always be on site with you to help with sign-in, discipline, etc. Your role is mostly playing with the kids, listening to them, talking with them, teaching them games, helping with crafts, pushing them on the swings, etc.
We look forward to meeting you and having you meet our kids!

Mission Statement
Amethyst Place is supportive housing for women in recovery (from drug/alcohol use disorder) and their children. We provide safe, drug-free housing and individualized services to promote healthy families, helping them overcome significant trauma and develop essential life skills. The vision of Amethyst Place is that families will successfully transition to drug-free, independent housing and healthy community living.
Description
Founded in 2000, we provide housing in a safe environment (secured apartment complex) so that moms have a stable home to be reunited with their children. On site therapists help both moms and kids learn to be a family, communicate in healthier ways, develop routines & learn the life skills that will help them succeed for years to come. Education is a major focus for both moms and children with tutors and mentors provided for everything from a GED through a college degree.
