Children’s Aid and Family Services recently honored several of its volunteers for their dedication to helping the children and families that the agency serves. The honorees included James Shea of Berkley Heights, who is a mentor with the agency. He provides guidance and encouragement to a teenage boy in foster care. This young man is interested in social media and technology and James is helping him to expand his knowledge in this field. James also spends time teaching the young man life skills during recreational activities, such as sporting events and visits to restaurants for meals.
