Safe Families for Children Info Session Join us for an info session to
learn more about Safe Families for Children NYC. Dinner is provided.
Safe Families creates extended family-like support for families in
crisis through a community of compassionate volunteers. We keep
children safe and families intact. We organize vetted and trained
volunteers from local churches to offer a broad community of support
for families who feel overwhelmed or isolated. Our volunteers seek to
empower, encourage, and strengthen families through mutually
beneficial relationships. There are a variety of volunteer roles to
come alongside families. The roles are flexible and volunteers can
offer support according to their skills, interests, and
availability. Volunteer roles: 1. Family Friend- befriends and
supports parents and/or their children, by offering services such as
babysitting, transportation, mentoring, help connecting with local
resources, help with job or housing searches, and other friend-like
support. 2. Resource Friend- donates and delivers a variety of items
(beds, clothes, diapers, etc.) or volunteer services (medical care,
dental care, counseling, etc.) to families. 3. Family Coach-
coordinates the team of volunteers, making sure that the parent,
child, and Family Friends have the resources needed to thrive. 4.
Host Family*- temporarily host the children of families in crisis so
that the parent can work towards gaining stability. *Overnight hosting
is temporarily suspended in NYC, however, those who are interested in
hosting in the future should come to this introductory session.
