Saturday Parenting Time Supervisor - Northglenn

Save to Favorites

Volunteers work with an assigned family to monitor and supervise weekly visits. During the 1.5 to 2.5 hour scheduled visiting time, the volunteer greets the non-custodial parent while they pay for any visits, set up room, or food they brought for 15 minutes. The volunteer then greets the custodial parent and children and guides the children to the room of the non-custodial parent. The volunteer then monitors their interaction for the next hour or two, suggests appropriate activities when necessary, and completes an observation form. After the visit the volunteer will guide the kids to custodial parents while non-custodial parent stays in the room. The non-custodial parent will remain in the room for 15 minutes and then is allowed to leave. Trained staff members are always available to support the volunteers. An orientation session of 1 to 1.5 hours is provided to all new volunteers. Orientation continues with an opportunity to observe and co-supervise other visitations. Volunteers are then matched with a family based on time preferences. Volunteers are asked for a four-month minimum commitment, so that they and the children and families get to know each other. Substitutes are available in case of illness or vacations.

CVP does not accept students trying to fulfill volunteer requirements for school as we need a consistent volunteer for our families to build a relationship with, thank you!
