Volunteer Opportunity: Help Reconnect Foster Children with Their Roots


We're launching an exciting new program—Strengthening Family Connections—to support foster children in Berks County. We're looking for a dedicated volunteer to help us locate long-lost relatives, former coaches, neighbors, or other meaningful people from a child's past.


Using our Family Connections software and various internet tools, the volunteer will help identify potential contacts who may be able to send a note, make a phone call, offer encouragement, or even become a resource parent.


What We’re Looking For:




  • Experience and comfort with internet research




  • Willingness to learn and use specialized search software




  • Ability to work independently from a laptop (no in-person contact with the child)




  • Flexible schedule




  • Commitment to confidentiality




  • Must pass all required background checks and provide references




 


This is a meaningful way to make a difference.
