OVERVIEW

You believe that people want to come together to care for the most vulnerable, yet they struggle to know who to help and how to connect. You know that children shouldn't pay the highest price when families face extreme hardships, and you want to see the Church and the Community come together to care together. Colleagues would describe you as highly relational, a natural connector with a strong, diverse network of Church leaders and community connections. You are known as a vision-caster, someone who can’t help but share their passion with everyone and show others how to join in taking action, no matter their background or position. You deeply desire to see the Church rise up to its calling to foster meaningful connections with their neighbors, by first serving and meeting the immediate needs of the most vulnerable.

CarePortal is Care-Sharing technology that drives action for local kids and families in crisis. We subscribe to the vision that through the Church and Community, there can be More Than Enough care for every child through the power of Care-Sharing in local communities before, during, and beyond foster care. The goal is transformation from child welfare to family well-being in the lives of hurting children/families, the Church, and the Community. We develop and mobilize robust Care-Sharing Networks and lead with Courage, Humility, and Excellence.

We do this through the local Church and in concert with child-serving organizations, businesses, and people who care - that’s where you come in.

POSITION SUMMARY

Church Ambassador – Fresno, CA

In this full-time role, you have a strong desire to see the strengthening and empowerment of the local children and families in your area, and you’re ready to recruit and mobilize a network of Churches in Fresno County. You feel passionate about bridging the gap between community outreach and seeing the Church truly engage with the families in their surrounding areas and form lasting relationships. You see technology as an opportunity and tool to create meaningful connections, and your ability to inspire Church leaders and volunteers to utilize this technology will bring you success in establishing a network of active, equipped, and engaged CarePortal Church networks, and deepen their impact. You are relationship-focused, yet driven to see follow-through, both a self-starter and a strong team player. You are confident in your ability to present and train church members to not only learn CarePortal technology, but also how to serve children and families with dignity and empathy, one meaningful connection at a time. Your heart is to see the Whole Church work in unity to respond to its greatest calling–to serve the vulnerable in its midst, and you have a vision of churches from all denominations and demographics radically collaborating together. Your strengths are in community engagement, vision-casting, and presenting to diverse audiences, and your strong relationship-building skills allow you to develop and sustain an engaged and united network.

At CarePortal, we believe that children belong in the care of healthy, loving families and that families should be supported by a local church and caring members of their community. If you are ready to put your expertise to work for a mission you care deeply about, then join us, and let’s get started as we go all out to close the front door of the foster care system in Fresno County and beyond.
