My husband Carl and I have been dedicated volunteers at the children's home for approximately four years. During our weekly visits, we participate in a variety of activities, including recreational outings, organizing sports activities at the Cherry Fork gym, summer cookouts with waterslides, canvas painting , providing CPR training for children 15 and up (including workers) cooking activities, music lessons, and more. The children look forward to our horseback riding trips and outings.
It's noteworthy that even small gestures, such as tutoring or mere conversation, can significantly benefit the children.
Instead of placing blame on the staff and administration, we believe the community should focus on how it can support. The failed levy vote highlights the financial constraints faced by the children's home.
To clarify, volunteers can work with individual children or groups, while mentors are matched more on a one-on-one with children.
If you're interested in volunteering, please contact Carl or myself for an application, which requires a background check, licensure documentation, and insurance details;
The No Limits Foundation will cover the cost of the background check.
To become a mentor please reach out to Sonya Myers or Thea Griffith for information about mentoring.
Becoming a volunteer and or a mentor isn’t for everyone, it takes time to gain trust and respect from the children, many of which have experienced significant trauma.
We are currently working on setting up a community action platform on Facebook to help address the needs of the “at risk youth” in Adams County and would greatly appreciate any help in getting it off the ground .
Please feel free to message my husband or myself through our “No Limits Foundation” page on facebook.
We will gladly answer any questions and guide you through the volunteer application process.
Sincerely,
Carl and Debbie Riggins
