Role(s):

Childcare

Description:

SAFS provides a safe, 24/7 shelter and supportive services for homeless families with a goal of stabilizing housing and employment. Family time volunteers watch children in shelter while their parents apply for jobs, look for housing or simply take a break. Volunteers would be able to lead activities, such as movie or craft nights, story time, or playing on the playground or in the activity center. Children will be of all ages, with a group size of 1 to 25. Times: Friday and Saturday evening, Saturday and Sunday between 8:30a-12p or 1p-5p. Volunteers in this position are required to pass a background check and take a 3 hour class called VIRTUS. VIRTUS teaches adults the signs of child abuse and neglect as well as the best practices Catholic Charities follows to protect youth and vulnerable adults in our ministries.

Background check required.
