Volunteers Needed

Vermont Family Network is re-establishing what was the Parent-to-Parent Room on Baird 5 at Vermont Children’s Hospital. The VFN Family Room will be open 24/7 as a haven for adult family members to retreat to, for time to themselves and for resources. VFN needs volunteers to staff the room 1-2 hours a day to provide support to family members who may come by. The maximum commitment is 1-2 hours per week; the minimum commitment is 1-2 hours per month. Volunteers will need to have completed VFN Support Parent Training and FAHC Volunteer Training.
