Safe Families for Children works with volunteers to connect at-risk families with a healthy system of support. By becoming a Family Friend, your relationship encourages and strengthens another family so that they may thrive. Small things, like dropping off diapers or babysitting for a few hours, provide valued encouragement to families and an opportunity to build relationships that families in crisis often desperately need.

Responsibilities of a Family Friend may include, but are not limited to:

• Providing friendship and encouragement
• Babysitting, tutoring or providing rides
• Sharing helpful information about parenting and life in general
• Donating items you no longer need, like furniture, bicycles, etc.
• Supporting parents with children staying with Host Families
• Advocating with/for families seeking the proper academic setting, mental and physical health opportunities, and other resources for their children

Family Friends are trained volunteers that are supported by a network of resources that includes community development organizations, schools, clinics, counselors and churches.
