Volunteer: Direct Child Care VolunteerEntering foster care can be incredibly scary and confusing. We provide a soft landing for children when they enter foster care at our emergency shelter in south Bellingham, The Skookum Landing. This house solves what we call “The 72 Hour Problem” by providing a place for children to stabilize and buying time for social workers. We care for kids from all over Western Washington, including Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish, King and Island Counties. Volunteers at The Landing help provide kids staying with us a safe and fun environment, participating in activities like local trampoline parks, going to doctor visits, special outings to the movies, and LOTS of parks! Volunteers are asked to serve for a minimum of one 4-hour shift a month. We are open 24/7 and have many shifts to suit your availability. There are previous experience requirements, trainings and paperwork to complete before volunteering, so inquire about this opportunity and meet with our Volunteer Coordinator to get started and learn more!
