Volunteer Opportunities

Foster Family Support Group

We hold 6 support groups a year where childcare is covered by volunteers so foster parents can connect with other caregivers over discussion and periodic trainings.

We hope that foster families can get a chance to breathe and pick up a few tools along the way. This is another easy way to volunteer with a small group or those under 21.

Skookum Mentors

In our mentor program, children and youth are matched with a safe & healthy adult who gives the child regular, undivided attention. This relieves some of the pressure on families.

Skookum Mentors help with homework, sports practices, appointment transportation, and recreational support.

SKookum Family Night Out

On a regular basis we invite all foster families in the communities we serve to drop off their children with us for a night out. Community volunteers give children an evening of fun while their caregivers enjoy time going out!

Ideal for groups or those under 21 years old, Family Night Out is the easiest way to get started volunteering at Skookum Kids.

The Landing

Children from all over Washington spend their first days in foster care at our emergency shelter house, The Landing. We named it this because we ensure that in those first turbulent hours, children have a soft landing at our cozy and well-cared for house. This important work is done by a team of 100+ volunteers (just like you!)

Right now, our greatest need for volunteers is at the Landing. Volunteers must be 21+ years old and able to serve at least 4 hours a month. Send us an email or fill out the form below to learn more.
