The Grace Home is home to children (birth to age 18) who might otherwise be homeless or in abusive circumstances. They enjoy a safe environment, cozy bed, their own personal belongings, three healthy meals a day, and nurturing by qualified foster parents. Many of our children have been involved with domestic violence - either as a victim of or a witness to domestic violence. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that sexual assault has also been part of their young lives. Our children need your help in rebuilding their sense of self worth, setting appropriate boundaries, dealing with the crisis of their lives. Your counseling services could help them move forward in their lives on a level playing field.

As you might well imagine, we are quite protective of our children. A background check, references, fingerprinting and intensive interview are required before admission to Grace Home is permitted. Experience with crisis intervention and at-risk children's issues is crucial.

Overall Experience   
This is a very fun thing to do!!!!!!!

I am 9 years old. My family and I volunteer with the Giving Tree Feeding Program and we think it is very fun! We have met some very nice volunteers, and best of all, we have met some very nice homeless people, too! I love going there on Thursdays and Sundays! posted by Robyn123 on July 1, 2008

Overall Experience   
I have gained a greater understanding of the needy.

Volunteering has made me gain a deeper appreciation for food, clothing, my bed, and everything else that I own. I would suggest everyone to volunteer their time to help the people in need. This program is well organized! posted on June 23, 2008

Overall Experience   
It was very rewarding

I volunteered with my sorority, Chi Omega. I gained the realization of what life is really like for some people. I also learned about different organizations within the Tucson community that work to help many people get back into a good state of life. posted by jaa on April 8, 2008
