Volunteer to Support Children with Safe & Sound




Darrach Bourke provides guidance for retirement planning and managing investment portfolios through his position as a financial advisor at Emerson Equity in San Mateo, California. Throughout more than 20 years in the industry, Darrach Bourke has given back to the community by serving on the board of directors of organizations such as the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center, now known as Safe & Sound.

A nonprofit child advocacy agency, Safe & Sound empowers communities to care for children by supporting individuals, families, and other organizations. Safe & Sound also provides a variety of programs that rely on the generosity and commitment of volunteers from the local area.

Those interested in volunteering must first submit an application and go through an interview process. Upon acceptance, they receive training and choose a particular commitment, which can vary from just six weeks to as long as a year.

One volunteer position involves two and a half hours of service a week as a workshop assistant at Kids' Turn. Workshop assistants serve for six weeks through the course of a series of workshops designed to give children support in dealing with the divorce and separation of their parents.

Other volunteer opportunities include working as a counselor in the Children's Playroom, assisting at community dinners, and staffing the 24/7 TALK Line to give support to parents seeking aid in caring for their children.
