FPNO (Foster Parents Night Out) and KiDO (Kids Day Out) are monthly respite-care events where student volunteers can serve not only kids but their parents and caregivers by providing a safe and fun space while their parents/caregivers get some time to recuperate.
In order to volunteer in this meaningful way, we need students to commit to getting trained, background-checked, and commit to consistency of presence for these “Little Bruins” throughout the school year.
Volunteers can apply by filling out this form. Also, plan to come to our “National Care for Kids Day” dinner and training event from 6 to 8 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 19, in Hoover 105.
This is an important service our campus provides for kids in foster care and for kids with disabilities, as well as for their hard-working and dedicated families that need support and rest.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to spirituallife@georgefox.edu or fpno.georgefox@gmail.com.

Uwan is a charter member of the International Civil Working Group of the Permanent Forum for People of African Descent at the United Nations and is a reparations activist whose work spans the globe, as she has advocated for global reparations on behalf of Africans and African descendants on the floor of the United Nations three times.
