We are a circle of support - working together to keep kids with their families

Fearless R2W is a grassroots volunteer child welfare education and advocacy initiative that has been active since 2015. It began with 2 people sitting alone at an event called “Super Granny” to the grassroots organization we are today. Our team is made up of families with lived experience in child welfare, former youth in care and community members willing to be helpers to achieve our goals.

Our values, which we share on the home page of our website and read out loud at our weekly meetings, guide our work and ensure that caring for and protecting children always remains front and centre. Our work adheres to local, national and international child protection protocols. Every volunteer advocate participates in Fearless R2W Advocacy Training, has a clear child abuse registry, provides us a copy of their criminal record check and consents to a vulnerable sector check. Our emphasis on lived experience means that we match people appropriately to their tasks, and only those with their completed checks are put in positions with families and kids. 

The coronavirus has amplified the many challenges that families involved with child and family services face. We are grateful to our many local, provincial and national partners for helping us navigate service delivery in these unprecedented times.

We welcome any feedback on how we can better serve our families.
