Parent Outreach & Referral Network Builder

Mending Our Mistakes is building a program for parents who are struggling with child support, custody disputes, supervised visitation requirements, unstable housing, unemployment, transportation problems, recovery, or other barriers that make it difficult to stay involved in their children's lives.

We help parents connect with resources, create a plan, and work toward greater stability so they can comply with court requirements, maintain contact with their children, and avoid things like incarceration, repeated court involvement, job loss, or complete family separation.

We need someone who can help us identify and connect with the parents who would benefit from this type of support.

This volunteer would help us figure out where those parents are already showing up, who already works with them, and how we can build relationships that lead to referrals into the program.

That could include reaching out to:

• Child support offices
• Courts and attorneys
• Recovery programs
• Churches
• Schools
• Shelters
• Food pantries
• Workforce centers
• Probation offices
• Community organizations
• Facebook groups and local support groups

The goal of this role is to help us create a strong referral network so parents can find help earlier, before they lose their housing, job, driver's license, parenting time, or relationship with their children.
