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
- Mentors help provide services to assist parents/families with their current needs
- Offer culturally-sensitive support for all families
- Build strength in parents and children
- Enhance a child’s development and social skills
- Communicate with families (virtually over the phone or in person) on a weekly basis
- Once a trained mentor, you will work with a family 1 to 3 years
