The Frances Perkins House is a transitional shelter for women and their children. Volunteers in this program sign up to go to the shelter for one evening each week to spend time with the children. The children range in age from infant to 12 years, and volunteers spend their time establishing relationships with the kids by helping them with their homework, playing games, and doing arts and crafts activities. The goal is to give individualized attention to each child and to help the mothers by giving them a break in their busy schedules.
