Community Coordinators play a vital role in empowering the local church to serve children and families in crisis. They help build relationships, facilitate collaboration, and support ministry leaders. Coordinators host gatherings, provide coaching, and work closely with the 111Project team to strengthen church engagement. This volunteer role requires 3-5 hours per week and is ideal for those passionate about mobilizing others, building connections, and making a lasting impact.
Community Ambassadors play a vital role in recruiting and supporting churches, developing partnerships, and equipping leaders to deepen their community impact. Ambassadors typically have existing connections with churches and see the mission of 111Project as a natural extension of their work, like pastors, ministry leaders, or passionate advocates. This role is ideal for those who serve as leading relational ministry experts for churches and community champions within their own networks.
Interns play a vital role in supporting the team while learning firsthand about the impact of our work and developing valuable skills for their future careers. Interns commit to a minimum of 100 hours of service. This opportunity provides hands-on experience and mentorship and is ideal for individuals pursuing careers in nonprofit work, ministry, human services, or related fields. This position is best suited to self-motivated, driven individuals eager to contribute to the mission of caring for vulnerable children and families.
Who We Are:
We are an Oklahoma-based non-profit organization that believes the church is central to the solution for children and families in crisis. Our focus is on foster care prevention, foster family recruitment, and family support. Working in all 77 counties of Oklahoma, we bridge the gap between government, non-profits, foster care agencies, and churches to see that every child has family.
What We Do:
We work alongside churches, foster care agencies, non-profits, schools, volunteers, and DHS to care for children and families before, during, and after foster care. Through foster family recruitment, church engagement, and community mobilization, we are striving towards a future where families are waiting to help children, rather than children waiting on families.
How We Do It:
- We manage the CarePortal platform in Oklahoma, which connects people with resources to those in need of help. This includes vetted requests for assistance from DHS, other agencies, and schools.
- We provide education, support, and resources to help churches engage in the child welfare space, both relationally and by meeting physical needs.
- We partner with foster agencies to recruit and support foster families.
- We partner with other non-profits to engage our network of churches in caring for those facing domestic violence, homelessness, and other challenges.
- Through weekly community gatherings, we bring local communities together for collaboration, education, support, and advocacy.
