Volunteers are needed to observe and report on parenting time visits for families currently under the supervision of DHHS. Parenting time (visits between children in foster care and their parents) occurs at the DHHS office in Holland or in public locations within the community. Volunteers will observe parenting time visits to ensure the physical and emotional safety of the child(ren) involved. Volunteers will be trained to record specific information from the parenting time visits. Volunteers will maintain contact and communication with the assigned foster care case manager. This volunteer opportunity would offer an especially valuable experience to individuals pursuing their education and/or a career in social work, human services, child development, child services, family services, counseling, a school setting, etc. Schedules can be flexible for this volunteer position.
