Wedgwood Christian Services Charity Profile
Wedgwood Christian Services is a distinctively Christian, professionally excellent community of caring, dedicated to helping young people develop the ability to live secure and productive lives. For over 45 years, we’ve been extending God's love to children, adults, and families through professional services that promote healing and wholeness.
With our help, 89% of the troubled youth we serve in our residential programs successfully complete treatment, and go on to live lives filled with meaning and purpose.
Wedgwood Christian Services Volunteer Information
Young people need positive role models in their lives. Wedgwood needs volunteers for two mentoring programs:
The Wedgwood Mentoring Program gives community volunteers an opportunity to serve as a friend and positive role model for the youth in our care. Mentors are asked to build a supportive one-on-one relationship with an adolescent (ages 12-17) by spending one to two hours per week with the individual for a six- to nine-month time period.
We also need adults willing to open their home and provide room and board for youth in our Supervised Community Living program. The relationship between a home provider and a youth is structured like landlord/tenant relationship – but it often grows to be much more significant. Stays typically last from three months to one year.
