Needs From: Serve Illinois

We need volunteers to assist with front of house and backstage needs for our performance of Voices of Democracy, Saturday June 27th at 1pm at Kehrein Center for the Arts. This performance is an immersive celebration of America's 250th anniversary through music, spoken word and Activism. 

A 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. We strongly encourage all families to contemplate becoming Host Families, enabling them to serve in these respite opportunities.
