Volunteer Roles
Join us in our mission to change the world—one mama at a time. Explore the volunteer opportunities below and discover how you can make a meaningful impact today.
Support a New Mama—One Call at a Time
We believe no mom should face the postpartum journey alone. That’s why our program provides check-in calls throughout a mother’s first year after birth—offering connection, encouragement, and a listening ear from one mom to another.
As a volunteer, you’ll be trained through a brief, online course to help you feel confident and supported in your role. These are not clinical or therapeutic calls—they’re heart-to-heart conversations that remind new moms they’re seen, heard, and not alone.
Your voice can make a real difference. Join us in creating meaningful mom-to-mom connections that offer comfort, community, and hope.
Become a Support Mom to another Mom
Being a Support Mama means saying “yes” to walking alongside another mom who’s seeking encouragement, connection, and a little extra support. This isn’t a traditional mentorship—there’s no expectation to have all the answers. Instead, it’s a peer-to-peer role rooted in empathy, active listening, and showing up without judgment.
You’ll be matched with a mama who simply needs someone to lean on—a caring presence who understands the ups and downs of motherhood.
If you believe in the power of shared experience and heartfelt connection, we’d love for you to join us. Your support can make all the difference.
Every Mom Has a Story – Share Yours on the Let’s Be Real Podcast
Every mama has a story—and when you share yours, you help another mom feel less alone. Whether your journey has been messy, magical, or somewhere in between, your experience can comfort, inspire, and empower others in ways you might not even realize.
Join us as a guest on the Let’s Be Real podcast, where real moms have real conversations about motherhood. You don’t need to be an expert—just be you. Your voice has the power to build community, break down stigma, and remind others they’re not alone in their journey.
Ready to share your story? Sign up below to schedule a Zoom interview with our Founder & CEO, Nikki. Let’s be real—your story could be exactly what another mama needs to hear.
Events and More!
It takes a village to make a difference—and we need passionate, talented volunteers like you to help power our work behind the scenes. From planning community events and supporting fundraising efforts to grant writing, marketing, social media, and more, there’s a place for your skills at YANA.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or simply eager to help, your time and expertise can directly impact the lives of moms, babies, and families in our community. Have a special talent or area of interest? We’d love to hear how you can best support our mission.
Join our team of changemakers and help us build a stronger, more supported world—one mama at a time.
