There are many reasons we can find to avoid connecting with Jesus' bride. But He still loves her and is working in and through her, so we need to lean in. And sporadic or virtual participation is not enough (unless you're in a closed country where there are no local believers).
Volunteer Roles
Lily Moms point of contact
Why? (purpose of this role)
We have many international mothers of young children among us who long for community and support. Lily Moms can be a great place for them, but have been overlooked if they just go without the Lily Moms chapter being ready. You would help to make those connections.
What? (goals of this role)
- Connect with Lily Moms chapters in the area to find out:
- What their interest in receiving international moms is (they may not have strong English)
- What their capacity is for new moms
- Confirming their child care safety practices (we only promote opportunities that abide by solid childrens safety practicies)
- Help international moms of young children that we know to get connected with a Lily Moms chapter.
- Check back with both chapter and international mom to see how its going

Prerequisites
This role requires a background check. This helps to steward the trust of those we serve and of our secular partners who share their internationals with us.
For those who serve children or lead those who are serving children, we require that you complete child safety training called Ministry Safe. This is at no expense to you, just the hour or so it takes to go through the online training.
