The Seeds for Success Program is dedicated to creating opportunities for Catholic Charities clients through comprehensive services focused on building self-sufficiency.
Child enrichment volunteers are needed to work with children while their parents are in employability and finance training. Volunteers will follow a curriculum designed to stimulate intellectual and emotional growth. Children will generally be aged 1-5 years old.
Volunteers are asked to commit to a weekly, one-hour time slot.
Times: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10-11am.
Volunteers in this position are required to pass a background check and take a 3 hour class called VIRTUS. VIRTUS teaches adults the signs of child abuse and neglect as well as the best practices Catholic Charities follows to protect youth and vulnerable adults in our ministries.
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Wichita alleviates poverty and builds stable and strong families throughout 25 counties in south central and southeast Kansas. We hold to the truth that poverty is not a given. In fact, we believe overcoming poverty is not just a task of charity, but an act of justice. That’s why we not only seek to "get our hands dirty" as Pope Francis directs us, by serving the hungry, homeless, victims of violence and those in family crises in our many programs and projects, but we advocate for our clients and work to fix and repair the systems that fail people in poverty - and ultimately fail us all. We aspire to be great in facing these challenges, and we invite people of all faiths to join us. We do this work because stable and strong families that can break through the barriers of poverty, and can improve upon the good and the dignity inherent to every family member, ultimately mean hopeful communities for our entire human family.
