Some of our members not only love food, sustainability, and environmental justice, they also love social justice and children! Especially children of the cute, small, and runny nose variety. So check out the DC Child Care Collective. WHAT IS THE DC CHILD CARE COLLECTIVE?
The DC Child Care Collective is a small all-volunteer group that
provides free childcare to progressive groups working for social
justice. We provide childcare as an act of solidarity and prioritize
providing this service to groups that are primarily led by low-income
women of color. It is our mission to make childcare that is safe, fun
and empowering available to parents working to further social and
political change.
WHO ARE YOUR PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS?
Currently, we provide childcare to Empower DC, Women Empowered Against
Violence, UNITE HERE union, Right to the City Alliance, Latino Economic
Development Corporation, and the Asian/Pacific Islander Domestic
Violence Research Project.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
We would like to make free childcare available to more groups and organizations; to do so we need to build a larger volunteer base. We ask volunteers to make a commitment to provide childcare at least 6 times over the course of 6 months and attend additional trainings that we provide.
If you want to support parents in DC working toward social change and if
you like spending time with kids (even if you don't have much
experience) we would love to have you volunteer with us. If you are
interested, please fill out the volunteer application available at our website www.dcchildcarecollective.org and send it to
dckids@gmail.com.
