Recruiting Native American/ Alaskan native Foster Families (2 hour radius around Sacramento)

2009-12-23T10:38:58-08:00

IF NOT YOU THEN WHO?
BE AN AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE FOSTER PARENT

Tribal Economic and Social Solutions Agency, Inc. (TESSA) is a newly licensed Indian Foster Family Agency that is now able to recruit foster families and place Indian foster children. We believe it is important to have Indian people caring for Indian people. We are eagerly in search of perspective American Indian/Alaska Native foster parents/families to participate in our program because, unfortunately, there are a disproportional number of our Native children in the child welfare system that do not maintain ties to tribal communities because they are placed with non-Indian foster families.

You can make a difference. Sign up to be a foster family or if you know potential American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) foster families send them our way. This is NOT an employment opportunity; it is a chance to build community by offering support and a stable environment for an AI/AN foster child.

TESSA�s goal is to serve Tribes and urban AI/AN families with culturally relevant foster placements and to provide support systems to assist families in the reunification process and maintain cultural ties to the foster child�s community.
,
We encourage you or someone you know to join us in making a difference in the lives of AI/AN youth by being a foster parent. We�re here to help you through the process and getting started is easier then you may expect. You have more to offer then you realize and together we can work towards benefiting our children and communities.

Please call our office (916) 502-6818 or e-mail acoronado@tessainc.org to get more information and inquire about eligibility and incentives. For after hour inquiries please contact our Office Manager Mary Curtis at (916) 296-4522.

Thank you kindly.

Administrative Coordinator - Sunshine Kids Club (Chico, CA)

2009-12-17T09:59:41-08:00

JOB DESCRIPTION
Sunshine Kids Club Administrative Coordinator

MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH A TOTALLY UNIQUE ORGANIZATION
Sunshine Kids Club (SKC) is a fully inclusive non-profit organization, serving children with and without disabilities. It is designed to foster self-esteem, empower kids and promote advocacy and acceptance for all children ages 5-18. The main goal of the Sunshine Kids Club is to provide a place for kids to �Just Be Yourself!" All too often there are programs designed specifically either for children with disabilities or for typical children. If there is any integration offered to children with disabilities into the programs designed for typical children, it is often trying to have the children with disabilities try to be a part of typical activities. However, this is just another hindrance for the child with a disability to be who they truly are. Reciprocally, programs designed for children with disabilities do not integrate typical children into them, further isolating the child with a disability from other children. The Sunshine Kids Club has designed activities for all children to participate in, with or without disabilities. It's a place for children to feel comfortable with each other and their surroundings no matter who they are. SKC is not a therapeutic program aimed at �fixing� the kids. It is a place where �it is all about the kids having fun�. We measure success in laughter and smiles and in newly gained self-esteem.
