At the Brisben Center, we want to provide a space for children to express their creativity while their parents participant in the programs of the shelter. Whether this is from physical play such as outdoor activities or an art project, there is a wide range that can be done.
If you consider yourself good with kids and reasonably crafty, join our current kids crafts volunteers to help keep our children engaged! This particular volunteer position is to create a team to cover Thursday nights 7-8pm.

Mission Statement
Providing temporary shelter and equip residents for employability to resolve poverty and obtain and sustain housing.
Description
The Brisben Center has 37 years of experience with serving the homeless adults and children of the counties of Spotsylvania, Stafford, King George, Caroline and the City of Fredericksburg.
We do so in a 16,000 sf clean, modern. safe, congregate facility in which families with children and single adults may find a place to transform surviving to thriving.
We have separate dormitories for single males and for single females. Families with children reside in single occupancy family rooms with full bathrooms.
Our theory of change, based on decades of experience and extensive research, is simple. If a person is capable, motivated, and accountable to their results-based plan, and if they engage with effective, targeted resources, they will advance their health & sobriety, social relationships, livable wage
employment, financial literacy, community engagement, and good parenting skills.
