Helping Kids Be Kids: Supporting Children and Teens Involved in the Child Welfare System
Newman Congregational Church, UCC Church Volunteer Workshop
Many of our churches are blessed to have an increasing number of children coming into our Religious Education ministry. We are becoming aware that a number of these children have experienced traumatic events in their past, many of which have caused them to enter into foster care in the Child Welfare System. With that understanding, we wish to provide an opportunity to learn how to meet these children where they are, equipping ourselves with increased knowledge and understanding of what their individual needs may be.
Whether you serve as a volunteer in your church’s Religious Education program or interact with children and youth during Fellowship Hour, this training opportunity will benefit both you and the children/youth of our faith community.
Wednesday, October 11
6pm to 9pm
