The Volunteer and Child Engagement Department of Franklin County Children Services supervises various volunteer initiatives dedicated to fostering positive connections and assistance for children in need. Our Friendship program pairs volunteers with children to provide companionship and mentorship, while our College Bound Mentoring program focuses on guiding youths towards higher education and bolstering life skills. Crisis Center Volunteering offers essential support during challenging periods, and our Simba and Malaika mentoring program specifically caters to culturally diverse youth. Furthermore, our Holiday Wish Volunteering initiative ensures children experience joy and fulfillment during festive seasons. Collectively, these programs aim to cultivate a nurturing environment where youth can flourish and realize their full potential.
