Help is needed providing occasional child care for emergency shelter clients. Adult survivors often flee traumatic situations with one or more children in tow. This is a simple but vital role as they journey toward stability.
Clients often have job interviews, legal appointments or other needs. Child care needs often arise on short notice, so volunteers will be on standby list and will be called whenever needed. We will try to provide at least 24 hours’ notice.
Shifts are between one and four hours. Child care can be provided in our shelter in Mahaska County or at CIS offices (212 North I Street).
Providers must pass a background check and sign our Confidentiality Agreement.
