This role serves in ways that help a foster family. You may supply a monthly meal, help with errands, extra housework, laundry, yard work, or homework. The possibilities are endless, and you may see how your gifts & talents match well with the needs of the foster family. Keep your eyes and ears open to listen for their unique needs.

This role allows you to get to know the foster family more closely. Generally, tasks will require a time investment of less than an hour per week, however a consistency is required when serving in this role. You’ll make a quick weekly phone call to the foster family and note their needs and prayer requests. You’ll then update the Care Community through a weekly group email. You have a front row seat into many answered prayers!

This role can allow you to be more involved in the life of a foster child, offering a great opportunity to pour love and encouragement into them. We ask Child Mentors to commit to spending 4 hours a month or providing childcare at least once per month. If you commit to being a Child Mentor, ask how you can serve the family once per month with regularly scheduled childcare for a date night.
