About the Project
We have run a very small FAS program for 4 years and we struggle with how to scale it, with little staff time as possible. The program teaches volunteers how to be a search specialist for families in the matching phase, it is very successful. However, we need to create a way to scale it and make it work having a part time staff member manage it.
- As a Family Adoption Specialist our volunteers represent A Family For Every Child while working with families through the adoption process.
- Explore what we have done with our FAS program
- Create a plan and budget to support its growth
- A plan to engage families, workers and volunteers
- Work on creating training modules and a plan to work with remote volunteers
- Recruitment plan to recruit past adoptive parents to support new parents in process
- Streamlining the process to recruit, train, and oversee FAS’s. Develop a plan for the recruitment of new volunteers for the FAS role, both in and out of the office
- Working with MAP Additional services by checking in with families weekly, assisting them with the matching phase, following up with Social workers, and ensuring that their process is at an appropriate pace (all training provided).
