We are seeking volunteers to assist with childcare during our evening therapeutic support groups. As part of our services, HRM offers trauma-informed therapy for kids and adults. The therapeutic support group is a critical piece of programming that allows clients to connect with one another and find strength and healing through community. The childcare volunteers would be responsible for supervising the younger children (ages 0-5) while their moms attend support group. Knowing that their children are being watched over by caring volunteers would allow our clients the freedom to focus on themselves and their own wellness for the duration of group. An ideal volunteer would have experience caring for young kids, be passionate about supporting survivors of IPV, and be able to offer consistency in their volunteer services (i.e. every other week). The ratio of children to volunteers would be no more than 3:1.
