From delivering items to families to helping plan our gala, there is an opportunity that you’re your gifts, passions and skills! Explore our volunteer opportunities and click below to apply. We would love to have you be part of our village of support!
Volunteer Opportunities (Individual and Group Sign-Ups)
Fundraising/Event Committee
You can help with planning and preparing fundraisers and events throughout the year. Prior non-profit fundraising or event planning experience a plus. Flexible schedule and time commitment.
Resource Center Team
Our Resource Centers serve as a hub for those caring for children in foster care. Volunteers are needed to help sort and organize donations during weekday time slots and assist families who might be visiting during those times. Sign-up slots go out in our monthly volunteer newsletters and ongoing commitment is flexible. Once your volunteer application is approved, you will be added to the newsletter list so you can keep up with current needs and opportunities.
Childcare Team
Foster Village hosts a quarterly Parents’ Night Out, where we provide childcare so foster families can get a relaxing evening, a date night or just some time for themselves. We are always looking for extra helpers with a desire to love on these precious children for a few hours while their foster parents take a well-deserved break.
Hospitality Team
If cooking and serving others is your gifting, then we would love your help in blessing our families! We host monthly Support Gatherings for our caregivers, and volunteers can sign up to provide a meal for the 10-15 attendees. It can be a simple brunch with things like muffins and fruit or a dinner buffet with a few options for kids and adults. We send out a monthly signup sheet, so you can choose a date/time/location that works for you.
Internship
We offer internships for those looking to work in the field of foster care and social work. Experience with child development, foster care, social work, marketing, communications, non-profit development or health and human services is a plus. Flexible schedule and commitment for volunteer internships.
Leadership Roles
We are looking for "doers" with a passion for making a difference in the lives of children in foster care. If you've ever wanted to take the reins on a project that uses your unique gifts to enrich the lives of others, then we would love to have you on our team! We are looking for professionals with skills like marketing, accounting, fundraising, etc. who can commit to at least four hours per week, but hours and location are flexible.
