Job description

Do you and your family have a lot of warmth and hugs to spare? Save the Children is looking for volunteer friendly families who will take a vulnerable child from Copenhagen in for a visit one day a week and give the child some pleasant every…Home to Us is an initiative from Save the Children and the Municipality of Copenhagen, which helps children and young people in vulnerable positions by providing them with a volunteer friend family.In Hjem til Os, Save the Children matches children with volunteer, local friendly families.The initiative is run by Save the Children in collaboration with the Municipality of Copenhagen. Home to Us is aimed at children and young people aged 4-13 from families with contact with the municipality. Children aged 4-13 who are placed in a children’s or youth home are also part of the target group.The child visits the family one afternoon a week for a year.Should your family be a family of friends?As a foster family for a child in Hjem til Os, you get a unique opportunity to build a strong relationship with a child – for the benefit of everyone. You help make a difference for the child and their family – by doing as you usually do.What is Home to Us?The child is welcomed as part of the family’s everyday life. This means that the child becomes part of all the small, close everyday events that the family already does. This could be, for example, cooking, talking, playing a game, playing soccer, jumping on the trampoline, helping with homework, walking the dog, doing creative things together or baking a cake.The time for the weekly afternoon visit is agreed with the parents (or the contact person where the child is placed). Most visits are from regular pick-up time until after dinner. It is the volunteer family who picks up and drops off the child.The Save the Children program lasts for a year. However, many choose to continue the contact afterwards. The hope is that the friendly family will continue to support the child in the future.
