Interested in volunteering to support families with babies?
Parenting Village is expanding Nurture, our free home-based peer support program, and we are seeking interested individuals who are passionate about sharing support and connection to families with babies. Volunteer as little or as much as you want during days and times that work best for you!
Support can come in a variety of ways. Nurture volunteers may:
-hold a newborn so caregivers may rest, recover, or even shower
-offer compassionate listening, understanding, and peer support
-attend to needs of older siblings
-help with basic household tasks
-assist with diapering, feeding, and soothing baby
-offer connections to existing community resources
Volunteers have an opportunity to receive a stipend to support travel and child care costs.
Please find both the volunteer and family applications on our website at:
