Become the Movement
It Takes a Village.
OPEN YOUR HEART & HOME
If you are looking for a truly rewarding and challenging experience, consider becoming a Safe Families volunteer. You will make a lasting impression on a child in need and possibly change the trajectory of a family facing a crisis. Volunteers serve on the Frontline of the Safe Families movement.
Without families opening their homes and opening their hearts, we could not care for vulnerable children and at-risk families in our communities. Our Circle of Support (COS) has many opportunities for all ages and stages of life to surround families with caring, compassionate communities.
Be a part of our village!
