Volunteer: Mom mentor or mentor team (4) member

If you are a mom, you are qualified!! Children don't come with a "how-to" manual but rather, you create the manual as raise your children. Now that you have all this expertise, share it with a new mom. You've been there! And you can encourage a young mom on her student parent journey with Hope for Single Moms.

Hope for Single Moms removes single mom families from high-risk poverty situations and gives them the tools they need to become economically independent. One of the ways we do that is to provide our families with a team of support while the mom is on her student parent journey. Part of that support is having an experienced mom, or team of experienced moms, paired up with a single mom family. Gather your three best friends to laugh, cry, hug and encourage single mom.

A team of four means each woman takes one week a month to check in with her "mom" and make a difference. There is a mentor training for some of the details about conveying a need to Hope for Single Moms. 

This is great for a women's bible study to be a mom team. Or the women in a church group can be part of a mom team, while the men and single ladies can be the rest of her life assistance team. Because we all know life can throw anyone curves.

Volunteers need to consent to and pass a background check.

f you’ve ever thought you want to leave a legacy of caring, then Hope for Single Moms has a great opportunity for you! We make it possible for single moms to get the career education they need to provide well for their families and find a path to a better, more fulfilling life; thus breaking the cycle of poverty.

There are over 29,000 single mom families in Kent County alone; nearly half live in poverty. Giving these families an opportunity for a better life takes a village; and board members are  part of that village. As a board member you will have a front row seat to these family transformations, as well as cast the vision for future growth and opportunities for HSM.

HOPE FOR SINGLE MOMS has grown from a start-up in 2016 to a respected changemaker in West Michigan, raising over $100,000 in 2022. In our six year history, we have four graduates and provided financial assistance to three additional single mom families.  More information regarding our program is available on our website at https://hsmgr.org/

Our goal is for every child to thrive and every single mom to become financially self-sufficient — first in West Michigan, and then, throughout the state. In order to achieve these objectives, we need to develop our programmatic impact and our organizational capacity. We are seeking volunteer leaders, who have a passion to help single mom families thrive, to join our dynamic board of directors.

Board members are actively involved in organizational governance, have the fiduciary responsibility of the organization and are expected to attend six-one hour bi-monthly board meetings, as well as personally donate. You will also receive training as a leader. You are the agency's biggest cheerleaders, and should invite your circle of influence to join you in changing the lives of two generations.  

If you’re interested in using your expertise, perspective, experience and leadership to help give these families a better life, let’s continue the conversation.

 A potential board member packet is available by emailing info@hsmgr.org

Please submit a resume with your request. Thanks. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Requirements for CASA volunteers:

At least 21 years old Completion of necessary background and reference checks, including fingerprinting Interview Completion of a minimum of 40 hours of pre-service training Availability for court appearances (advance notice is provided) A commitment to the CASA program until your first case is closed

A CASA Volunteer works with one child or sibling group at a time and meets with them in person every 7-10 days. On average, our volunteers spend between 10-20 hours a month on a case, which consists of visits, travel time, report writing, court hearings, Family Team Meetings, talking with counselors and teachers, etc. A CASA commits to advocating for the child(ren) until permanency is achieved. On average, this process takes about 18 months but can last several years.

Court hearings are usually every 90 days, and you would know in advance the date of the hearing (the following hearing is scheduled at each hearing, so usually you’ll have 90 days notice). 

A CASA is also required to complete 12 hours of in-service training annually, which can be done through various ways, found on your own or trainings that we provide.
