Volunteer Photographer Needed for Youth Advocacy Events!

Save to Favorites

Are you passionate about photography and looking to make a positive impact in your community? We are seeking a skilled and enthusiastic volunteer photographer to capture the spirit of our upcoming Weekend Miracles events in Virginia!

What is Weekend Miracles?

Kidsave's Weekend Miracles provides a new way to find adoptive parents for older children and teens in foster care in Virginia. Through our Meet The Kids Events, kids and families get to know each other at their own pace, in safe, fun, and interactive environments. Most importantly, the kids have a voice and a choice in who they want to get to know.

Once a child makes a connection with a family, the adults can become the kid’s "host." Hosts make a one-year commitment to regularly spend time with a child (at least twice a month) and become mentors to them, introducing them to friends, family, colleagues, and their local community in hopes of finding a forever family.

Hosts celebrate the kids’ milestones and successes and help guide them through hard times. Hosts are people just like you. Our hosts are singles, married couples, same-sex couples, with or without children, ready to make a difference in an older kid’s life. For many of our host families, the Weekend Miracles program is the ideal pathway to adoption as it enables them to build relationships gradually and organically.
