Foster Shasta is a ministry to local resources and adoptive families. It is our endeavor to foster meaningful connections that contribute to the success of these families as they answer the call of God. "True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans..." James 1:27. Foster Shasta is dedicated to building community among resource and adoptive families. We provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support. We work to promote awareness of the need for more resource and adoptive families in Shasta County. As a volunteer, you will join others who are laboring to restore the mountain of family. Parents who foster and adopt have many demands placed on them. Every day, they heroically rise to the challenges they face. It is estimated that about half of those who are fostering quit in their first year. By coming alongside these families with valuable support, we are partnering with them to answer God's call. When a volunteer enters one of these homes, the parents feel "seen" and encouraged because their work is valued by others. Their children receive the message that they are worth knowing. Volunteers engage children in various fun and creative activities. They also complete a variety of household tasks as requested by the parents. Most importantly, our volunteers carry Jesus into the homes they serve. 

*Times vary depending on the family, and a background check is required.

Hope City knows that positive adult relationships with at-risk youth can change the course of their lives and, in turn, the long-term health of their communities. By being a part of our mentoring groups, you can help stop a negative cycle of trauma and poverty. Many Shasta County children being raised in single-parent homes or difficult home situations face unique challenges. They are less likely to graduate high school or college, more likely to use drugs and alcohol, and more likely to have mental health problems. The breakdowns in families often later lead to further breakdowns in society. However, having an adult mentor makes a difference to at-risk youth. According to Standtogether.org, a mentor increases a student's likelihood of attending college by 50 percent. Youth in a mentor program are also 46 percent less likely to use drugs and 27 percent less likely to use alcohol. Being a mentor makes a BIG difference! What Hope City Mentoring does is provide several local public schools with groups of mentors to run character development groups on their campuses. There are approximately 5 BSSM per group that would have the opportunity to build relationships with the local students over the year. You will be bringing hope, encouragement, self-value, and value for others and helping train them in general life skills. You will receive a weekly breakdown of a topic/activity to help run the group. Here is a glimpse of some of the topics that will be covered throughout the year. Core values (personal respect) Healthy relationships Communication skills Emotional wheel Restorative/ justice practices Boundaries/Bullies Hope training/dream board/goal setting Team building Self-worth and empathy towards others Making a positive impact in my environment You will see a great impact by the end of your year serving here! You will be able to find ways to share your own life's journeys in a creative and engaging way. You will find your heart enlarged towards the youth that we serve by the relationships that are formed. You will grow and learn not only from your team but from the students themselves..It is a true honor to serve our community in this way. Thank you for considering being a part of the Hope City Mentoring activation. Please Note: There will be a mandatory hour-and-a-half training, team connects, and prayer one Friday morning a month as part of this activation. Groups will run either Wednesday Morning or Friday Midday, so there is no "traditional evangelism."

*Monthly meetings on Thursdays from 2:30-4:30 pm & a background check is required.

Join us as we share the love of Jesus with women who have already decided to make change in their lives by partnering with a local, established drug and alcohol recovery center. Each week we will meet with women in the residential recovery program at Visions of the Cross in Redding, focusing on connection, encouragement, and making room for Jesus to touch hearts and transform lives. The goal of Visions of the Cross is to see every person in their care encounter Jesus and know the power of His cross as they experience freedom from substance abuse. This ministry has a long history of partnership with BSSM Activation teams, and you can expect to have opportunities to step out of your comfort zone each week. Our focus is on simplicity and love, and we also take opportunities to share from our own stories, preach the gospel, pray for the sick, practice words of knowledge, exercise the prophetic, and much more. If you have a heart for the vulnerable and "the least of these", if recovery is a part of your story or close to your heart, or if you want to receive more than you give, we would love for you to join our team.
