Saturday Fun Club

This program provides care for children who have been abused and neglected. These children have been adopted, and are now in safe homes. The goal of this project is to give parents and children a break from each other, enabling families to maintain healthy, balanced relationships. Furthermore, it gives children the opportunity to interact with other children who have been adopted.

Volunteer Camp Buddies play with kids at our Saturday Fun Club and Friday Night Out. Staff provide the discipline and schedule activities. Volunteers have fun with the kids while their parents enjoy a little "grown up time." Training is provided.

Spaulding for Children needs volunteers to help with our Saturday Fun Day Club. If you are a Spaulding for Children family active in the Post Adopt Program, you are eligible to attend. To sign up, please contact Talia Diamond, Helping Hands program coordinator, at 713.613.5200 ext.140.
