The TN Department of Children’s Services (DCS) In Conjunction With Cathedral of Faith Collaborative Today Is Seeking Male and Female COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES... Community Representatives, especially males, are in demand and you can help by donating a few hours to become trained as a certified volunteer who will be present during DCS Child and Family Team Meetings (CFTM) in order to provide a community voice to critical decisions that are made regarding the children and families in DCS custody. A Community Representative, being both outside of the family whose child has been placed into custody and the potential foster family, serve as a voice from the community to assist in identifying resources, sharing ideas for ensuring the children’s safety and well-being, while supporting the family itself. The interactive training session with role playing includes lunch and an overview of the policies, procedures, and protocol required to be a successful and effective Community Representative. “Every child needs a home,” says Cathedral of Faith Collaborative Leader, Connie Booker. “We can assist you if you’re wanting to serve as a Community Representative, Foster Parent, or to Adopt a child.
