Our Families

We are currently recruiting volunteers to be Host Families, Family Coaches, Family Friends, and Resource Friends. We have a team approach to volunteering so that no volunteer feels alone or overwhelmed. The vetting process includes an application, three references, and three background checks (FBI and KS State fingerprinting, child abuse clearance).

Our Churches

Local churches play a significant role in recruiting volunteers from their church family. They are integral to supporting those families as they serve and reach out to families in need. Churches of all sizes and various denominational, or non-denominational, backgrounds are active partners with Safe Families for Children.

If you are interested in your church becoming partners with the Safe Families movement, please contact us (kansas@safefamilies.net)

Our Team

Our amazing volunteers are the ones who take the Safe Families for Children movement into the community. But they can’t do it alone. They are supported by a staff of professionals passionately investing their lives in engaging churches, building the base of volunteers, transitioning children, family coach supervision, vetting and training volunteers and so much more.

Sherry joined the Safe Families For Children Team in 2022. Prior to her role at Safe Families, Sherry worked and served as Small Group Coordinator, Women’s Ministries Lead, and Community Bible Study Lead at South Valley Community Church in Lemoore, CA. She also worked at Kings Gospel Mission, a ministry focused on serving the homeless in the Central Valley of California. She attended Friends University, and has over 25 years experience in church ministry.

Sherry has a passion for connecting and helping people. Her desire is to help people find how God has uniquely gifted them to help others. In her free time, Sherry enjoys spending time with her adult children, walking, listening to 70’s rock, and hanging out with family and friends.

One of her favorite verses is Philippians 1:6 – He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Grace is a Family Coach Supervisor who’s passionate about helping people navigate life’s more challenging moments with clarity and compassion.

Whether it’s supporting families through tough transitions or offering a listening ear, she believes in showing up with heart, humor, and honesty. When she’s not in coaching mode, you can find her chasing around her one year old, and reading books!
