Our Team
Our amazing volunteers bring the Safe Families movement to life in the community, guided by a devoted staff pouring their hearts into supporting isolated families, training and vetting volunteers, and partnering with local agencies to help keep families together!
Our staff members function in three teams:
1. Family Support Team (conduct intake with families and provide professional support to volunteers).
2. Community & Volunteer Mobilization Team (recruit churches, community organizations and volunteers).
3. Mighty Village (elevating the voice of parent participants, leading Parent Cafes and peer support workshops, and innovating new ways to improve the model).
Our Volunteers
Our volunteers are not case managers. They aren’t perfect parents; some of them aren’t parents. They are all compassionate New Yorkers who believe that partnering with us to help strengthen families is one way we can all work together to help make NYC a great place to raise a family.
We have a team approach to volunteering so that no one feels alone or overwhelmed. We average 3 volunteers matched with each family and our vision is to have volunteers in every neighborhood in all five boroughs.
