Baby sign language, also known as baby signing, typically refers to the act of communicating with infants and toddlers using simple gestures.
Friends of NYC Nurse-Family Partnership is looking for someone to lead a fun class in Baby Sign Language. This session is for low-income first-time moms enrolled in the Nurse Family Partnership program. Mothers in this program receive home visits from specially trained nurses from the time they're pregnant until their babies are two years old. As part of a series of virtual events which bring the moms together, we need someone who wants to volunteer their time, expertise, and have a fun-filled session.
Virtual events are usually 45 minutes to 1 hour long.

Mission Statement
The mission of Friends of New York City Nurse-Family Partnership is to improve the lives of mothers and babies by supporting the New York City Nurse-Family Partnership program (NYC NFP) through financial assistance to enable mothers’ self-sufficiency, increase social and community connections, and provide professional development for nurses. Our vision is to level the playing field for NYC children by providing mothers with the resources to help their families thrive.
Description
About Friends: At Friends, we believe we can improve the world for mothers and children, helping two generations at a time. We do that by strengthening New York City Nurse-Family Partnership (NYC NFP), through financial support that expands services and programming for new mothers and nurses. The NYC NFP operates the nationally acclaimed nurse home visiting model across the 5 boroughs that empowers first-time mothers to become the best mothers they can be. The core program is supported by government grants, but additional resources are needed. We work side by side with the NYC NFP staff to bring extra assistance to moms in their program.
The Learn, Eat, and Play (LEAP) program connects NYC NFP moms with one another to learn, socialize, let their babies play, and engage in interesting talks focused on maternal and child wellbeing. Virtual LEAP sessions are regularly offered biweekly and are led or co-led by Friends staff, community members, or consultants. In 2023, we plan to reintroduce in-person programming. Our most popular sessions are: baby sign language, prenatal yoga, sound healing/minority mental health, mommy & me 30 minute meals.
