Realities For Children was founded on the principle that the community must be united in the fight against child abuse. The spirit of service is essential to our mission, and there are countless ways to find meaningful Volunteer Opportunities in Larimer County that directly impact the lives of abused, neglected, and at-risk children. Our organization provides for the emergency and ongoing support needs of these children, and volunteers are the hands and feet that help make this possible.
Our founder, a former child protection case manager with Larimer County Child Protective Services , dedicated his efforts to creating a safety net of service and funding so that no child would be forgotten. This safety net, Realities For Children, thrives on the commitment of individuals and businesses dedicated to our Core Values, including Servant Leadership and Collaboration.
Direct Impact Through Collaboration
Our unique, innovative design allows us to maximize the impact of every volunteer hour and every donation. While our business members underwrite all administrative costs and implementation of services, the time and effort of volunteers are directed right to the core of our mission: delivering emergency and ongoing aid. This approach ensures that the community’s time is as fiscally efficient as its donations, reinforcing the high level of Trustworthiness and Integrity for which the organization is known.
Our work is comprehensive, addressing three essential legs of service in providing for children who have faced abuse and neglect:
- Immediate Needs: Identifying and meeting the urgent, unmet needs.
- Effective Support: Providing necessary services for the healing process to begin.
- Empowerment: Offering resources that equip, support, and empower children to break the cycle of abuse.
Volunteers often play a direct role in reinforcing these legs, whether by assisting with the delivery of Child Abuse Emergency Services or helping facilitate long-term programs that equip children for the future.
