CHILDMINDING WILL BE AVAILABLE

What is childminding? Childminding is distinct from childcare or babysitting. SURJ volunteer childminders will hang out with kids (aged 1+) while their parents and caregivers engage in nearby activism and organizing. They'll bring fun games, crafts and toys.
Childminding does NOT include: diaper changes, offering food, or engaging in any form of discipline. Parents and caregivers need to be nearby.
There will be a capacity of 20 for childminding services. Please let us know in advance if you will require childminding by emailing toforum.justicepeaceliberation@gmail.com.
