Ways to Serve TriCity Family Services
Help
us achieve our mission:
TriCity Family Services (TCFS) is a private,
not-for-profit, human service agency serving the
community members and organizations of central Kane
County. The agency is dedicated to strengthening people
and building community through the provision of
quality, affordable counseling, youth crisis
intervention, prevention, and early intervention
services that promote sound mental health and effective
family functioning.
Volunteer:
The
opportunity to make a difference in someone's life is
at the heart of the volunteer experience. At TriCity
Family Services, we recognize that volunteers are a
valuable resource and our best ambassadors. Volunteers
make the choice to help. Simply because they care,
volunteers have a far-reaching positive impact on our
clients and the community.
Opportunities and Positions:
We
know that individual skills and interests vary and that
not everyone can volunteer the same amount of time.
Therefore,
we offer 3 opportunities with various time commitments:
Become
a board member, a board committee volunteer, and/or
a Friend of TriCity Family Services.
Become a
Board Member:
Our
board of directors of the TriCity Family Services
accepts the responsibilities inherent in governance of
the agency and for fulfilling its mission. Through
their leadership they establish sources of funding, an
adequate pool of volunteers, and a good professional
staff to help TCFS meet its goals and achieve its
mission to serve our community.

the organization and mission of TriCity Family Services
to help people in need and share that understanding
