Community
Volunteers
Boys Hope Girls Hope sees each
child as a unique person, an individual with dignity, having basic
needs and rights. Ordinarily, the family of origin provides
the environment in which these rights and needs are protected
and can be fulfilled. When the family is unable to maintain
this environment, Boys Hope Girls Hope intervenes on behalf of
the child, providing a loving, stable home and caring individuals
to nurture and support the child. While it is the primary responsibility
of administration and residential staff to forge genuine, healthy
human relationships with each child, community volunteers bring
a wealth of gifts to share with each child and increase the effectiveness
of our program.
Community volunteers are members
of the local community who assist a specific Boys Hope Girls Hope
affiliate in a variety of ways. They donate their services directly
to their local program as board or program committee members,
tutors, meal moms/dads, fundraisers, mentors, office workers,
etc.
Categories:
An Administrative Volunteer
is any person who helps with routine office tasks or
development activities. Examples include fundraising, special
events, administrative support, seasonal tasks.
A Program Volunteer
is any individual who performs program related services or helps
with tasks around the homes such as cooking dinner or helping
with maintenance of the home (painting, gardening, etc.).
A Youth Volunteer
is any person who works directly with the children, either one-on-one
or in groups. Examples include mentors, babysitters, respite
providers, field trip chaperones, etc.
Screening
Procedure:
Each Boys Hope Girls Hope
child has been entrusted to our care by the parent/legal guardian.
In consideration of this most important responsibility, it is
essential and non-negotiable that each community
volunteer be screened according to specific guidelines.
To begin the screening process, please
contact the affiliate with which you would like to volunteer.
