Ways to Serve
APFUM Residential Volunteers
Mentors
We try to pair each resident with a strong, mature Christian female mentor. The hope is that the mentor can help the resident connect with a local church, be a spiritual support to the resident while in the APFUM residential program and be an accountability partner for the resident. We ask that each mentor meet with their resident for one hour weekly and provide feedback to staff about the resident's progress in the mentorship.
Mentor Requirements:
- A willing heart to help a struggling young woman with her spiritual growth
- Pastoral recommendation
- Be an active and growing member of a local church

Childcare Volunteers
Periodically, APFUM residents need childcare for the first 12 weeks of their placement, so they can attend GED classes, Learning Center classes or attend appointments. We need individuals who are willing to come to the Residential Home and babysit 1 or 2 children Monday-Friday from 8 am-3 pm or periodically as needed (evenings or weekends). Background checks must be conducted and we ask volunteers to please donate $16 towards this. If you are interested in volunteering as a childcare helper, please complete the from below.
