CHILD CARE PROVIDER
La Familia holds monthly support groups for adoptive parents and we are in need of volunteers to supervise
and interact with the children from infant to 12 years old while their parents are in attendance for our
Adoption/FIESTA project.
Volunteers will monitor and ensure the safety of the children, model healthy interactions and provide
opportunities for fun.
Training will be provided for the volunteers and a background check and TB test will be performed.
The
time commitment is normally 3 hours per event at La Familia, and the dates are:
1. Sunday, July 12th, from 1:30 to 4:30
2. Sunday, August 23rd, from 1:30 to 4:30
3. Sunday, September 13th, from 1:30 to 4:30
The volunteers must like children, and CPR and First aid training are a plus, but not a necessity. Volunteers
need to be 18 years of age or older.
