Childcare Worker in the USA
If you have kindergarten or childcare experience, come to help our trainee missionaries from across America. We need you to watch over their pre-school children or also help older ones with after-school homework, while parents are prepared for overseas service.
These families move to Pennsylvania for a 3-month course, and know that their children are also affected by their plans to live and work abroad.
You could help to lighten their busy schedule, and help the parents and their children to better prepare for cross-cultural ministry.
Qualities & Gifts Sought
You have childcare experience and would enjoy the challenge of working with children from varied ethnic backgrounds.
First-Aid or Red Cross training is ideal. You will need to undergo security clearance.
All volunteer applicants need to be either US Citizens or possess a current valid US visa. Sponsorship of visas for foreigner volunteers will not be available.
