Family Promise

BAUUC is proud to be an active partner in the interfaith organization called Family Promise of Clear Creek. Family Promise of Clear Creek mobilizes the faith community to empower homeless families to achieve lasting independence. The program’s goal is to help transition families away from homelessness to permanent housing by providing a safe environment that includes shelter, meals and hospitality; by offering supportive services to aid in the search for employment and housing and by organizing congregations to reach out with compassion to our families in need. To learn more about Family Promise, see their website at https://www.ccfamilypromise.org/
Because of the work of dozens of our church volunteers in 2017, 15 families received shelter and support services, including 19 adults and 37 children. BAUUC is one of 16 religious communities in southwest Houston participating in this program which is instrumental in successfully transitioning families in our community from homelessness to stability. To get involved, contact Rita D’Angelo or Terry Grim.
Each of the five (5) modules (plus the Introduction & Assessment) is between 5 and 8 minutes long. Please view each module then complete a brief assessment after viewing all modules. Each video covers a specific aspect of volunteer engagement. Family Promise of Clear Creek is considering this video series as the basic (Volunteer Training 1.0) training program for anyone interested in volunteering by engaging with our guest families. You are invited to review these videos as many times as you wish and request you continue your training each year with the Volunteer Training 2.0 series launched this year. (First class is in September with more details to come.)
Feel free to invite any and all to take this training! We would appreciate your feedback as we grow and develop our training programs.
