Host Family

Safe Families for Children- Monterey Bay | https://montereybay.safe-families.org/

Safe Families for Children is a family preservation movement with the mission of creating a world where children are safe and families are transformed through radically compassionate communities.

Host Families provide daytime or short-term overnight care (one day to a couple of months) to children for a temporary period of time while parents get back on their feet.

Being a volunteer with Safe Families is very flexible. After a volunteer is certified and trained, you will receive occasional requests for support. Depending on whether it is a good time for your schedule, you may opt to help or not with a particular family need. Each volunteer role has different time requirements depending on the situation. As a family successfully works through their situation, the time commitment is less, however we encourage continued relationship between our volunteers and the family they are supporting, as relationship is a key component in safety and secure relationship building.

Being a volunteer with SFFC is extremely rewarding! We often hear from our volunteers that although they became a part of the movement to help others, that they too gained so much through the experience. Volunteers share that being a part of SFFC is rewarding and impactful on their entire family.
We provide on-going optional trainings related to supporting the populations we support.
If intern hours are needed, we are happy to verify this for your school or workplace.
