Foster Care Volunteer Opportunities

You don’t have to work in child welfare or be a parent to help children in foster care. There are lots of ways to put your valuable abilities to work.

You can be the difference in the life of a child in foster care!

Ways you can help:

► Volunteer

Become a mentor or tutor for youth in foster care.
Help our offices with filing, working at events and more.

► Foster Family Driver

Assist foster families by driving children to appointments or to school. Must be 18 with a valid driver’s license and insurance.

► Foster Family Sitter

Help provide foster parents with short-term child care.

► Foster Care Provider

Provide a temporary home to a young person in foster care and help restore hope as they wait to reunite with their families.

► Foster to Adopt Provider

Open your home to a child in foster care with the willingness to adopt if family reunification is not possible.

► Community/Business Leaders

Organize fundraisers/donations.
Offer free services or discounts to foster families.
Offer scholarships to camps for foster children.
Offer job/internship opportunities for teens in foster care.

A background check is required for all roles working with children. Volunteer is responsible for the cost of the background check.
