Volunteering at Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County can be done at several levels. At the top of the pyramid are our volunteers who work diligently on behalf of our organization on the Board of Directors. Volunteers at this level must be willing to commit significant time and resources to the organization.
Volunteering in Direct Service is another level of participation. Most precisely, Direct Service volunteers serve as Peer Bereavement Counselors in our Fetal and Infant Mortality program. The Peer Counselor offers compassionate, private one-on-one support to bereaved families. Volunteers maintain client contact logs, promote the project in the community and participate in community training presentations.
Volunteering in Non-Direct Service work in administrative capacities is also an available option. Program volunteers schedule clients for education classes, conduct follow-up phone calls, and assist in clerical tasks for program maintenance. Volunteers may also participate in organizational activities including advocacy and fundraising. HMHB of Broward has several annual events, including the highly-recognized Mother’s Day Luncheon, for which we encourage volunteer participation.
Helping Hands for Healthy Babies is our youth volunteer group which allows teens to work on projects that benefit the clients of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies of Broward. We encourage school organizations like Key Club International, Interact Club, Drama Clubs and others, as well as religious youth groups, to do drives (toy, food, baby, child and maternity clothing) on behalf of HMHB of Broward and receive service hours.
Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County is a hands-on social service organization and we frequently have unpaid training opportunities available for students studying Social Work to partner with some of our experienced team members both for home visits to our clients and in the office.
