Volunteer: Change a Foster Child's Life: Volunteer with Elysium Sanctuary's Fundraising Team. (FULLY REMOTE)
We are a small, local nonprofit who have helped over 100 foster families all over Oregon. We provide birthday party supplies, clothing, toys, books, and care packages. We are looking for volunteers to help us run these programs. Our future goals are to help support policy change and create a sustainable community to support foster families by providing crisis intervention, tangible supports like a foster care closet, skills training, tutoring, support groups, and a visit space for bio families to safely visit with their kids.,Elysium Sanctuary is an all-volunteer nonprofit that serves foster youth and their families in Oregon. Despite our relatively small size, we serve dozens of families every year! We are currently looking for additional board members and volunteers to help expand our services.
