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.
As a childcare volunteer:(Required)
1. I will seek to maintain a close and growing relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
2. I will govern my personal conduct by functioning within all camp policies and rules, so as to glorify Jesus Christ and set a positive community example as a representative of Help One Child.
3. I will faithfully apply myself to every task, whether small or large, important or seemingly insignificant, public or private, so as to be a positive force for God and in cooperation with all other persons concerned.
4. I will welcome and appreciate the encouragement and positive remarks about my job performance from the Leadership Staff. Likewise, I expect constructive criticism when it is needed.
5. I will handle conflict in a biblical manner and in accordance with the guidelines set forth by Help One Child. I will avoid becoming involved in gossip which can only damage relationships and hurt the ministry of Help One Child.
