Join An Empowered Family Connection Group Childcare Team

Our Empowered Family Connection Groups provide adoptive, foster, and kinship parents a place to connect with one another and have an opportunity to explore trauma-related topics that pertain to their family. The goal is for each parent to leave feeling heard, connected to other parents who understand them, and having a sense of direction for the future. Each location has a team of volunteers to provide childcare on a monthly basis.

The locations and details are listed below. Please select the location where you would like to volunteer and fill out the volunteer application. You will be prompted by email to fill out the background check information. We will then contact you once your application has been approved!

Core Statements, Vision, and Mission

CORE STATEMENTS: It is the hope of Help One Child that foster children will be introduced to the love and teachings of Jesus Christ through their stay in Christian foster homes. Help One Child recruits foster parents and a volunteer support network for them from Christian churches that adhere to orthodox Christian doctrine and orthodox Biblical interpretation. Protestant and Catholic churches are included in the network with a broad representation of ethnicities and expressions of worship. The Apostles’ Creed represents Help One Child’s doctrinal faith principles and is generally accepted by the churches in which we recruit. VISION: Our vision is to mobilize and involve Christians in the effort to provide loving, nurturing homes for the thousands of Bay Area foster and other at-risk children. We dream of the day when Christian churches become the number one recruiting resource for children in need of loving homes, temporary or permanent. MISSION: Help One Child is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to recruiting train and supporting those willing to provide home or volunteer services for at-risk children.
