Family Friend
Becoming a Family Friend.
When you volunteer as a Family Friend, Safe Families for Children will connect you with an at-risk family that would benefit from a healthy support system. And Family Friends can also support Host Families by providing meals, respite care, transportation, etc.
Family Friends encourage and strengthen families in crisis so that they may thrive. Performing small tasks, such as dropping off diapers or babysitting for a few hours, provides families with support and builds relationships.
As a Family Friend, you will:
-
provide friendship and encouragement
-
share helpful information about parenting and life
-
support parents who have children staying with Host Families
-
advocate for families seeking resources for their children, such as schools or mental and physical health services
Your Next Steps.
Safe Families for Children (SFFC) is a faith-based movement passionate about family preservation to keep children safe and families together. We exist to host children and wrap family-like support around parents facing crisis. Our goal is to gather one million change agents willing to stand on the Frontline to help keep kids safe and out of the foster care system.
