Review for Child Centered Solutions, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteered for Child Centered Solutions after I graduated high school. I saw first hand the impact the organization had on families and children in need of support during difficult times. When I volunteered at CCS, attorneys provided pro bono services for children involved in custody battles. It was reassuring to realize that there are organizations whose sole mission is to be the voice of a child who might have been forgotten about during a difficult family time. Although CCS does not provide legal representation anymore, their resources for parents and professionals offer advice and strategies for parenting plans, communicating with the child's school and expectant behaviors of the child during a family conflict.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

seeing a successful parenting plan developed between estranged parents for the sole benefit of their child.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

suggest more marketing and fund-raising events to not only raise awareness of CCS but also about the importance of children's rights during family conflict such as divorce.

Role:  Volunteer & I helped with office duties at CCS. From sorting the mail to running errands I was able to lend a helping hand where needed.
