Caring Parents:
Volunteer Opportunities
If you only have 1-2 hours per month to volunteer, then the Caring Parents program may be an ideal match for you. Caring Parents home volunteers help families grow together in healthy ways.
The program matches new families with trained volunteers who visit six times during baby’s first year. Volunteers bring gifts, do development screenings, bring information and in general provide a little extra support to the new mom and dad. Each visit generally lasts about an hour or so.
Two 3-hour training sessions are required. Prior to the training sessions, potential volunteers are asked to come in for an information interview and to fill out required forms. Interviews can be set up by calling Carol Dingledy at 375-6748. The process takes about 30 minutes and can generally be scheduled between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Applicants must be 21 years of age, and have a telephone and transportation. Volunteers must be able to travel to and visit with parents in their homes, and be comfortable working with parents in various lifestyles and environments. It is important to have an understanding of parenting and a sincere desire to help parents under stress. Traits of successful Caring Parents volunteers include patience, good listening skills, and comfort in sharing some personal experience. If you are interested, please call and register for an upcoming training (375-6748), or other opportunities such as volunteering for special events (long-term or 1 day) or becoming part of the Action Team.
Action Team
The Action Team provides Caring Parents with leadership and guidance for curriculum, programming and operational issues. The members support the mission of Caring Parents and advocate for resources in the community. Members also assist with volunteer recruitment and help support fund-raising efforts. The team meets the second Friday of each month at noon at the hospital. Call 375-6748 for more information.
