Provide Support for Children in Crisis

By Carrie Zimmerman, Juniors’ Special Program Chairman

GFWC clubs support our children in many ways including the Juniors’ Special Program: Advocates for Children. An essential part of advocating for children is helping children facing crises. Supporting programs that bring awareness to children in crisis can advance the goal of developing safe communities all around the world. Some ideas for helping children in crisis include:
Supporting foster children through luggage and clothing drives, creating care packages for children entering foster care, supporting birthday or holiday parties, hosting new shoe drives, and organizing Foster Parents’ Night Out events.
Helping children’s mental health by supporting parenting classes in your community, advocating for more mental health services in your community, supporting social-emotional learning in schools, teaching communities about ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), participating in or supporting mentor programs, and creating programs that bring awareness to teen su***de.
Supporting programs in schools and communities that provide food and clothing to children experiencing poverty or homelessness, providing support to homeless shelters, and educating communities about the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act–a federal program to protect homeless families and youths in schools.
As GFWC clubwomen, we can make an impact in our communities for children one project at a time. Remember to submit your project for the "Stick Your Neck Out" challenge as we celebrate Advocates for Children Week from October 24-30, 2021. This Chairman looks forward to reading all of the “Stick Your Neck Out” challenge and Juniors’ Special Program reports this year!
