Become a volunteer to help kids Sept. 12
Safe Families for Children and Christ Community Church will host the Greater Chicago Volunteer Training Day on Saturday, Sept. 12.
The live, accelerated Comprehensive Training Session will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the church, 37W100 Bolcum Road, St. Charles.
Offered as an alternative to online training, this event is designed to equip you to welcome a child into your home as a host family or support a host or placing parent (family friend) and move you through the training process efficiently. The live Comprehensive Training Session includes everything you need to become a certified Safe Family Volunteer - all in one place, including starting or submitting your application, getting fingerprints taken for the background check, completing your training hours, and meeting like-minded families who will support you.
The training will be in two parts. The first two hours will be for all volunteers. The second two hours will be for host families. Anyone interested in being a family friend only needs to stay for the first two hours. Host families need to stay for the whole training.
Doors open at 8:30 a.m. for those who need to start an application, schedule a home study, start a background check, or ask one-on-one questions. The training session begins at 9 a.m. sharp.
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. There will also be a variety of special giveaways throughout the training session.
Reserve your spot today. Contact Sarah Mohr at (773) 653-2222 or smohr@safefamilies.net.
