The award winning Visiting Moms Program of Jewish Family and Children’s Service is expanding to Northshore and Central Mass! If you are a mother with a few hours a week to spare, think about volunteering.
Visiting Moms is a home-based program that matches experienced, volunteer mothers with new mothers who would benefit from a supportive connection. The Visiting Mom volunteer, who receives training and ongoing supervision from CERS staff, visits the mother of a newborn once a week for an hour up to the baby's first birthday. By focusing on early parental support, with an emphasis on developing and strengthening capacities, Visiting Moms help mothers adjust to parenting and build a healthy relationship with their babies. The program not only provides an enriching, positive experience for each mother and baby served, but also for the volunteer Visiting Mom.

Mission Statement
Jewish Family & Children's Service (JF&CS) cares for individuals and families by providing exceptional human service and health care programs, guided by Jewish traditions of social responsibility, compassion, and respect for all members of the community.
Description
For almost 150 years, Jewish Family & Children's Service has been the safety net for over 30,000 individuals and families in 80 Greater Boston communities. Since its inception, the focus of JF&CS has been to support our friends and neighbors through difficult life transitions and times of personal crisis, offering programs and services for every stage of life.
JF&CS is especially responsive to the needs of vulnerable members of our community: newborns and their parents, individuals with development disabilities or persistent mental illness, families at risk and the frail elderly. What makes our continuum of programs unique is our steadfast dedication to caring not only for the physical and economic health of individuals and families, but also for their emotional and spiritual well-being.
JF&CS is always ready to respond, no matter how difficult the problem and regardless of a person's background or ability to pay.
