VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
It’s been almost 2 months since Hurricane Rita devastated Southeast Texas. And although some things have returned to normal, there are many, many families still suffering. Partners in Mission is in the process of training Family Advocates to assist these families. The Christian Family Advocate is a special person acting out of a deep faith whose role is to enable/empower survivors to help themselves as much as possible. The job of the Family Advocate is to identify survivor’s needs and connect them to resources. The Family Advocate works over the long-term with survivors to make an in-depth assessment of their needs in order to determine which are disaster-related, and then help the survivors develop a recovery plan. A Family Advocate must be a good communicator, must be resourceful and creative, persistent, patient and faithful.
