The Nest Project
The NEST project is designed to create a network of support for families struggling with child management issues either due to a parent or child’s mental health, family trauma, or other stressful circumstances that make parenting difficult. We match a qualified volunteer parent mentor with a family.
What a Nest Mentor Volunteer Can Do:
- Provide emotional support when things are challenging or tense
- Help out with rides and childcare to support family goals
- Offer culturally-sensitive support for all families
- Build strength in parents and children
- Enhance a child’s development and social skills
- Communicate with family weekly 1 to 5 hours per week
- Once a trained mentor, you will work with a family 1 to 3 years
