ORGANIZATION: Foster Source

Foster Source Childcare

We need volunteers to play with the children in the childcare during trainings and support groups for local foster parents. Children in the childcare will be both biological and foster children of the foster parents attending the training.

We have different stations in the childcare rooms including a playdoh station, coloring stations, puzzle stations, etc.

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!
