Volunteer: National Emergency Child Care Network - Emergency Childcare VolunteersNational Emergency Child Care Network provides immediate child care services to families in western North Carolina who are experiencing hardship. You will be deployed to help families with emergency child care. Many families contact us when they are in desperate need of relief and respite. Once a family fills out a web form for help, an alert goes out to all volunteers within the local 60-mile radius. Most deployments are 5-10 miles from where you live. We have helped 44 families and 73 children in Asheville with emergency child care -- all families impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. Most deployments will be at the home of the family in need -- and ALL volunteers have absolutely loved the families. When a family calls, we deploy volunteers. When a partner calls, we deploy volunteers. We are a local NC organization helping families in North Carolina. Shifts can be up to 4-8 hours per day. Multiple days. It's up to you! Requirements: All volunteers are required to attend a 2-hour training on Psychological First Aid, either virtual or in-person. Must be 18 years or older. We will ask you to sign two documents: Background check approval Volunteer Agreement Attire: Professional attire with National Emergency Child Care Network t-shirts and name badges.
We do not know yet where the location will be. We want to meet you and welcome you to the team! We have 300 volunteers already registered, of whom, 70 have gone through the full training. :-) We deploy 3-5 volunteers every week to help 1-2 families with child care.
