As a Kids First volunteer, you will monitor visits between the children and their noncustodial parent(s). You will get to see them build their bond. You will get to help the kids feel safe and secure. The children who come into this program are our priority. Their emotional and physical safety is of utmost importance. We get to see kids run into the arms of their visiting parent, who spend four hours a month laughing, playing, talking, and eating with a parent who they love and miss. You will be part of the amazing service we offer.
We offer visits in Midland on the first through fourth Thursday evenings each month and on the first and third Saturday each month. On Thursdays, our monitors arrive by 5:45-5:50pm. The visits are 6-8pm. Generally, all the kids have been picked up by 8:20pm. On Saturdays in Midland, our monitors arrive by 10:15am. The visits are 10:30am-12:30pm. Generally, all the kids have been picked up by 12:45pm.
You will attend a training class that includes a tour of the building, an explanation of duties, and coverage of the rules the participants must follow. Afterward, a background check will be run.
