Opportunity Details
Boone County Respite
This event is helping with foster, adoptive, guardianship and kinship families located in Boone County in Missouri. The event is held at the Activites and Recreation Center(ARC) in Columbia, Missouri. Respite is a break from a stressful situation. Parent drop off the children in their homes for 4 hours 5pm-9pm, and go and have a date night, relax, clean, shop, etc.
Volunteers: Help watch 50 kids age birth-18, while they do a craft, eat dinner, swim/ play in the gym and watch a movie. Volunteers need to bring a swimsuit, towel and be willing to swim in the water with the children. The children all come from rough pasts, so there will be a short orientation at 4:45 pm, as I ask volunteers to arrive at 4:30 pm.
Because of the children we work with, Central Missouri Foster Care and Adoption Association will need to run a background check on anyone 18 and older.
Age Minimum (with Adult): 16+, Minimum Age:17+
