Team Facilitator - Mentoring for Foster Youth

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

Braid mentor teams surround a young person in foster care with a community of love and support. Every team has a skilled facilitator who serves as a cheerleader and support. The facilitator helps mentors plan the logistics of their visit and serves as the primary contact with the youth's caregivers. They communicate with the team on a regular basis and gather the team for a monthly check-in meeting (which can be online). They take part in a weekly conference call with other facilitators to share best practices and talk through any challenges their teams are facing. Some facilitators may also be invited to attend wraparound meetings for their team’s youth. The work of a facilitator can be done remotely.

Cards of Hope Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Vallejo, CA 94590

Braid Mission’s Cards of Hope program collects handwritten cards for foster youth living in residential facilities. We receive several hundred cards per month from card writers around the world. The Cards of Hope volunteers help prepare these cards to be sent out. Cards need to be counted, sorted by major type, screened for content, and mailed to our service partner/distributor. Along the way, you will get to read sweet messages that folks have written to foster youth. We have a separate office/storage area where this would all happen, and we will make sure volunteers have keys to come and go at their convenience. We just need to offer a brief initial orientation to the process. We need a volunteer who can commit to at least two hours per week, though more hours can be available.
