    Description

    Children’s Class Volunteer – Family Resiliency Center

    Help strengthen families in your community by volunteering with the Family Advocates Family Resiliency Center! We are looking for compassionate, dependable individuals to assist the Youth Development Director in supporting and educating children while their parents attend important parenting and family education courses. Your presence allows parents to fully focus on learning, helping them build confidence, skills, and stronger bonds with their children.

    As a volunteer, you’ll play a key role in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing space for children. From playing games and caring for toddlers to supporting youth activities, you’ll help build healthy family dynamics and prevent cycles of abuse through early support and connection.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Play games, do crafts, and read with children
    • Support a positive and structured classroom environment
    • Supervise toddlers while parents are in class
    • Help children feel safe, valued, and supported

    Requirements:

    • Be 18 years or older
    • Attend a Volunteer Information Hour Meeting
    • Pass a background check
    • Attend a 1-hour volunteer training (with optional shadowing)

    Who We're Looking For:

    Kind, dependable people who enjoy working with kids and want to support families. No experience is needed—training is provided!

    Your time allows parents to focus on learning and growth while knowing their children are in good hands. Together, we help families become more resilient and connected.
