What is a Parent Partner?

A Parent Partner is a Christian who partners long-term with an orphaned or abandoned child in our program.

The Four Step Commitment

1. Covenant Commitment:
   Parent Partnering is a long-term partnership between you, an orphaned or abandoned child, and the children’s home staff. You come alongside the staff in raising this child through supporting their life lessons and being a loving influence through your video calls and prayers. Your commitment is until they graduate from high school, but most Parent Partners continue to connect with their child well beyond high school.
   

2. Relational Commitment:
   You will pray regularly and communicate with your child through video calls on average 1-2 times per month for 30 minutes each time. We will provide you opportunities each year to travel to the children’s home to visit your child, although this is not required for participation as a Parent Partner.
   

3. Financial Commitment:
   Your financial commitment is $100/month. 100% goes directly to the children’s home to elevate the level of care they provide for your child, including a quality diet, education, and supervision, as well as extra opportunities they normally could not afford, including music and English studies. Upon high school graduation, you will be invited to contribute towards their college or trade school education through our Next Steps Program, which provides a path for children who are graduating to achieve independence from the children’s home where they were raised and pursue their callings through higher education and discipleship.
   

4. Ongoing Feedback:
   We communicate regularly with the children’s homes and our Parent Partners to ensure that all who are caring for these children are united in purpose. We hold bi-annual online training sessions to equip our Parent Partners, and we are always available to answer your questions. Our staff is committed to walking alongside your relationship with your child.
