Domestic Violence survivors have a lot on their plate. Getting their life back in order following an incident of abuse can be incredibly difficult. Childcare is a huge obstacle for those with kiddos. Our childcare volunteers help give our clients time to take care of responsibilities that might not be child-friendly, such as, attending their therapy sessions, court appearances, advocacy meetings, etc.
Responsibilities:
- Supervise and interact with children (mostly under the age of 13)
- Provide structured activity time (crafts, coloring, games, etc)
- Be an understanding and calm presence
Requirements:
- Complete and return a volunteer application
- Short, informal interview with Volunteer Coordinator
- 20 Hours of training (10 online, 10 in person)
- Must be at least 18
- Must complete a background check
Oftentimes, children receiving care at the Crisis Center have experienced traumatic events, and may react in unexpected ways. Our childcare volunteers need to be understanding and patient with our kiddos. We want to ensure that all children have a safe and understanding place to just be a kid.
Most of our childcare needs are for weekdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Training will be provided by Crisis Center staff before any child supervision takes place. All volunteers with the Crisis Center are mandated reporters and will receive training on how to report.More opportunities with Crisis Center
