Recruiting Organization: Family Promise of Essex County

Do you like working with kids? Do you feel a sense of joy when you're around them? Then you might be a good fit to help support the youth development team in our Circles Program.

Circles is a beautiful program that focuses on building a compassionate and dedicated community in order to end local poverty. With Circles our main objective is to empower individual and families living in poverty. We walk alongside them as they make steps towards a more stable future. We help them build caring support systems that offer friendship, guidance, and encouragement. We also help them access life-changing opportunities such as better paying jobs, affordable education, valuable community resources, etc.

During this collaborative process friendships are made, bonds are created, and a community is formed. Then something magical happens - a sense of belonging and purpose begins to emerge for everyone. This is the secret ingredient and one of the most powerful catalysts for real, lasting change.

There are many aspects of Circles- one of them being a youth development program for the children of families in Circles. This program goes parallel with what the adults are learning but it is for kids!

We are actively seeking volunteers who could help assist with this part of Circles. We are looking for folks who just want to help out and also folks who are interested in taking more of a leadership/coordinator role. Consistency is key when working with children so we ask that you are able to commit to 6 months with our awesome kiddos.

Thanks for your time in reading this and we hope you will join us as we build community to end poverty!
