Volunteer
Volunteers are essential members of the Village! Your skills can help a family as they travel the road of parenthood. See some of our volunteer opportunities below, and please reach out if you have questions or other ways to help.
Quick Links:
Home Visit Volunteers
Home Visit volunteers provide hands-on support to families with new babies in Hilltowns, reducing isolation and bringing the Village right to their door.

Donation Delivery Drivers
Sometimes Village Closet items need a little extra help getting from point A to point B.
Drivers support the Village Closet and Home Visit program by picking up donations and delivering critical supplies to families lacking transportation. Drivers choose what area they are willing to drive to, and sometimes they will meet up with other drivers to get items to their final destination.

Outreach and Administrative Volunteers
Outreach and administrative volunteers support our small staff in the operations of the organization. Assistance from our volunteers allow us to serve more families effectively.
Some tasks are as simple as hanging flyers or delivering brochures to partner agencies, assembling family welcome kits and resource guides, proofreading documents, calling families to check in, or writing birthday cards.
Other tasks may involve working on special projects for our outreach and development team, researching information on resources and statistics related to maternal health, or helping to organize a special event.
Do you have a special skill like web design, grant writing, or bookkeeping? You can use your skills to serve the mission of It Takes a Village through one-time or ongoing projects.
