Volunteer: Family FriendA Family Friend is a trustworthy and caring individual, willing to provide support to a Host Family or offer extended family-like relationships to a parent facing various challenges. They offer practical and emotional support, helping them envision and achieve their desired goals. The goal of a Family Friend is to journey with the parent until their situation has begun to stabilize, helping to start to establish solid parenting skills and a safe home environment for their children. Some Family Friends may provide daytime childcare at a host home or a parent’s home, or assist with transportation. Family Friending can extend beyond that to include weekend hostings and respite opportunities.
