Volunteer Opportunities (Individual and Group Sign-Ups)

Fundraising & Events Committee

Help us plan and prepare fundraisers and events throughout the year. Prior non-profit fundraising or event planning experience is a plus. Flexible schedule and time commitment.

Resource Team

Our Resource Team is the most tangible, hands-on part of our village, and many on this team are the first face-to-face contact our foster, kinship, or relative families have with Foster Village Lawrence. Volunteers are needed to help sort and organize donations, prepare and deliver Welcome Packs, and direct families to other helpful resources within our community. 

Childcare Team

Foster Village hosts a monthly Caregiver Night Out and Monthly Support Groups, where we provide childcare so foster and kinship families. We are always looking for extra helpers with a desire to love on these precious children for a few hours while their foster parents take a well-deserved break.
