Family & Community Services Volunteer
Our Family & Community Services volunteers answer the call to help families in crisis find solid footing again. We provide steady presence, trusted relationships, and coordinated support to build stable and resilient families and communities. All CFC volunteers must read and align with our Statement of Faith.
STRONG Families Volunteers come alongside families in crisis through child hosting, mentorship, and meaningful connections. Serve as a Family Friend or a Host Family, providing stability, encouragement, and practical care when it’s needed most.
Youth Mentors help us provide youth impacted by the foster care system or other significant trauma with a consistent presence in their lives. Mentors are dedicated to supporting and encouraging their mentee, and building a lasting relationship with them, no matter what season of life they’re in.
Family Support Volunteers join us in meeting families’ immediate needs while building long-term resilience through meaningful community support.
