Volunteers of America Oregon: Support young children in our Family Relief Nursery
Posted by Madison Omohundro
Support young children in our Family Relief Nursery!
Many families with young children aren’t able to provide the support they so desperately want to give to their children because of a variety of pressures combined with a lack of support. At VOA Oregon’s Family Relief Nursery (FRN), we work to reduce that pressure through providing resources and parent support so the family can stay strong and healthy.
You can be an immediate support to children by providing caring, affirmation, and structure. This is a great way to feel the joyful energy young children bring, learn vital skills to supporting their growth, and get an insider’s look at social work and early childhood education in action.
Classroom Assistant: Pair up with a classroom teacher to support an age-specific therapeutic classroom. Learn our unique intervention model, expand the type and depth of activities, provide 1:1 support, and be the adult a young child connects with while they grow and learn.
Current openings:
- Inner SE Location (234 SE 7th Ave Portland)
- Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings-Preschool room
- Outer SE Location (2609 SE 136th Ave Portland)
- Monday mornings-Toddler and Preschool rooms
