All For Family is growing, and we are presently recruiting volunteers to supervise family visits for children in foster care at our new, permanent supervised visit location in Hillsboro. Volunteers will be required to complete background checks that will be conducted by Children's Division. The visits will mostly be evening and weekend visits. The purpose of visit supervisors is to provide a resource families may not otherwise wise have to ensure they have an approved supervisor so they can see their children.
The families we work with have passed a screening guidelines by All For Family and Children's Division, and have been deemed appropriate for volunteer supervision. Approved volunteers will receive volunteer signup opportunities from signup genius, and volunteers can sign up for volunteers slots that best work with their schedule. Volunteers primarily sit, observe the visit, ensure visit guidelines are being followed, and take brief notes about parent/child interactions during the visit. This is a perfect volunteer opportunity for semi-retired, retired, or any adult individual who has time to give to help serve the foster care community.
Our visit location is only large enough for one family visit at a time. The supervisor desk sits back from where the family will primarily be sitting. We are not yet required mask be worn, but we are highly encouraging it, and we have a thermometer to screen clients coming in. We also disinfect the space after each visit.
If this is an opportuntiy you are interested in learning more about, feel to email us at info@allforfamily.net. Also, if you visit our website and go toward the bottom of the home screen, there is a "become a volunteer" link that should give you everything you need to know and do to apply to become a volunteer.
