DC127 is dedicated to protecting children and empowering and preserving families. They provide wraparound services to parents and grandparents who are isolated, overwhelmed, and under-resourced to stabilize families and prevent children from entering the foster care system. They also recruit and support foster families so that no child has to wait for a home. Read below for ways to serve!

HOPE (Homes Open for Parent and Youth Empowerment) Volunteers

HOPE volunteers take youth on outings at least once a month throughout the duration of the program. This can either be a weekend outing, where the volunteer is intentionally engaged with the youth for a full day, or one overnight. These outings and hostings empower the youth with new relationships, exposing them to different cultures and experiences, and they also provide needed relief for the parents. 

CARE (Connecting, Advocating, Relating, Encouraging) Volunteers

CARE volunteers connect with the parent to form a stable, consistent relationship. The CARE volunteer is a dependable presence for the parent in times of need and celebration, as well as  supporting the parent in setting and pursuing goals.
