Blossom Place: Baby/Toddler Playtime Mentor

This opportunity is starting in JUNE or JULY 2020 -- Volunteer adults who either have their own children or have worked with toddlers and babies are needed to spend time with at-risk girls (ages 18-24) with their children for approximately 4 hours per day, 2 days per month to model appropriate playing with young children. This would include outside and inside play at their house and possibly a meal or snack-time activity. The date would depend on the girl’s and mentor’s schedule. The hours would most likely be in the morning before the children go down for nap time between 1 and 2 pm. Volunteers would dress conservatively to be models for the young women they are mentoring. Volunteers with young children under 5 would be welcome. Volunteers need to be able to model healthy play. Volunteers need to be live scanned. The volunteer will be interviewed by the nonprofit staff to make sure it is a good fit for our participants.

Through 9/30/20
