AFP Volunteer Opportunities…
We are in search of volunteers to serve the adoptive families of AFP! Two committees are in need of additional participants. It is important to us that our committees consist of a balance among staff, adoption professionals, and adoptive families who understand the needs we are trying to address. We have two committees with vacant seats.
The first is our Advisory Council. This is the advisory body of the program and is responsible to meet quarterly for discussion about how we are serving the families and what we can do to make our services better. An understanding about the needs of families who have adopted internationally and domestically, through private agencies is important. Creativity and dedication are great traits to bring along! Adoption professionals and adoptive families are encouraged to consider serving on this committee.
The second is our Funding Review Committee. This is the group that reviews family minigrant applications to ensure we are following the established guidelines for equitable distribution for minigrant funds. Families who have previously received funds and do not plan to apply in the future, have children who are grown and are therefore no longer eligible for funds, and professionals who understand the needs of families are encouraged to consider serving on this committee. We meet the second Monday of each month at 11:00am for 30 minutes to one hour.
Please contact Casi Preheim for more information at email or at 303.755.4756, ext. 203.
