Thank you for your interest in becoming a Kidsave Volunteer Coordinator for our Chicago Community!
Kidsave is a non-profit organization with the mission to advocate for older kids so they move from Institutional care into permanent families! Kidsave.org started a Summer Miracles hosting model in 1999 and it has been very successful in finding adoptive families for 75% of the participating kids.
We currently are running the 100 Families for 100 Kids campaign and we need all the help we can get to make this happen.
Our host families in the Chicagoland area will be hosting kids for 5 weeks in the Summer during the month of July. And then we will have another cohort of families hosting in December for 3 weeks. Volunteer Coordinators have fun and crucial roles to make this program a success!
We are looking to fill the following Coordinator roles for Kidsave Chicago Community:
- - Media Outreach:
- - Weekend Event Planning:
- - Visit Family Coordinator:
- Fundraising Coordinator:

Mission Statement
Kidsave's mission is to help older orphaned children from Colombia connect with adoptive families in the US through a unique hosting program called Summer Miracles.
Description
The Kidsave Summer Miracles program has helped place over 80% of older children living in foster care and orphanages in permanent adoptive families. The children who are living in Colombia, are given the opportunity to travel to the United States each summer for a short visit of five weeks. During this time, the children meet potential adoptive families, they learn American culture and have a great time with their host families. By the end of their visit , the goal is to find at least one adoptive family for each child or sibling group.
