Hello,
I was wondering if Case works ever need people to do Volunteer work?

If so how does a person find out how to Volunteer .
I'm planning to adopt in time and I think somthing like that would be wonderful experance for me.

So I thought id ask.

Thanks

What state do you live in? My suggestion is to contact your local branch/office by phone and find out who coordinates this.

FYI, you may find volunteering to be kind of a pain - you will have to be background checked and finger printed and go through confidentiality/ethics trainings and etc. Lots of families' lives will pass through your hands and there are lots of laws about confidentiality.

Good luck, though!

I, live, in, Missouri, and DFS here does use volunteers some. Most recently a friend's newborn foster baby went into the hospital with meningitis (sp?) and volunteers stayed with him during the day while she was at work. The hospital had a policy about someone being at the hospital with the baby at all times. The volunteers just fed and held the baby- kept an eye on him.
