Volunteer: SAFEchild of NC all day
|
SAFEchild was established in 1992 by the Junior League of Raleigh as an outgrowth of that organization's long-standing commitment to children and families. Reflecting its public position statement that "every child has the right to mature in an environment free from physical abuse and emotional neglect," the Junior League voted to create a child abuse prevention agency to fill a gap in human service offerings in Wake County. Working closely with Wake County Social Services and dozens of other public and private agencies in the Wake County, the League incorporated SAFEchild as an independent agency and provided the initial financial backing it needed to develop programming, procure office space, and hire staff.
SAFEchild offers exciting and meaningful volunteer opportunities for English and Spanish speakers. Volunteers are trained to mentor new mothers, lead parent education groups, facilitate children's groups, share stories with children while their parents attend classes, or present a child abuse prevention program to first grade students in Wake County public schools. Depending on your skills and interests, you can work weekly with children and parents, help out in the office with administrative duties, serve on our board of directors or special committees, or work in the community with our speakers' bureau.
