Volunteer Roles
Peer Mom Callers
Our program offers new mamas (not always first-time mamas) check-in calls at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postpartum. These calls are made by peer moms to connect, mom to mom. There is an online training to help understand the role and how it works. These calls are not meant to be a clinical calls (such as social workers or mental health professionals).
Support Mama
To be a support mama means you are willing to be matched with a mama who is looking for support. This is not specifically a “mentor” role because we don’t expect you to have the answers but instead a peer support role where you are a non-judgemental support for another mama who may just need a shoulder and someone to listen.
Podcast Interview
Every mama has a mama story and when other mamas hear your story, they feel less alone. Your mama story can be comforting, inspiring and helpful to other mamas. Consider signing up below to be scheduled for a zoom podcast interview with our Founder/CEO, Nikki.
Other/General
As a nonprofit, we always need volunteers to help with all kinds of things. We need help planning events, fundraising, grant research, writing and submitting, social media posting, marketing and many other areas. If you have an area of expertise, we would love for you to let us know how you could best support YANA.
