What are the responsibilities and job description for the Be Part of America’s 250th Celebration | Volunteer at the U.S. 250 Tour – Columbus, GA position at Holt International Children's Services?
Around the world, we work toward our vision by providing individualized, child-focused services in 13 countries in three main program areas
FAMILY STRENGTHENING Our first priority is always to strengthen and preserve struggling families, whenever possible. Through nutritional, financial, health, education and counseling services, we provide the tools and resources families need to grow stable and self-reliant - addressing the root causes of child abandonment, and creating a safe, supportive environment for children to grow and thrive.
ORPHAN & VULNERABLE CHILDREN CARE We ensure that children who have been orphaned, abandoned or separated from their families receive the highest quality care while we work to reunite them with their families or unite them with a loving adoptive family. We do this through a holistic program of medical, nutritional, educational and psychosocial services tailored to fit their individual needs and carried out in a nurturing environment.
ADOPTION SERVICES When adoption is the best option for a child, we first strive to find a domestic adoptive family in the country of the child's birth. When international adoption is the best route to a stable, loving family, our expert team of adoption professionals works across the U.S. to find the family best suited to care for each child's unique needs. And through pre- and post-adoption support and resources, we work to ensure lifelong success for both children and their families.
