Calling Women in the Community! Are you looking to make a meaningful impact in the lives of local mothers with infants and young children? By mentoring with Journey Beside Mothers you can do just that!
Would you like to help young mothers by sharing your journey through motherhood? Journey Beside Mothers (JBM) is responding to a need in our community to support mothers of children, newborn through preschool-aged, who need the support families have traditionally been able to give. Volunteers will be matched according to the mother’s needs, with a weekly minimum time commitment of 1 hour and up to 4 hours. As a mentor, you will offer support to new moms.
A mentor will help the moms grow and cheer them on as they take on this new role. Mentors can become a friend to talk to, someone to help with meal plans, meet for coffee, or even go for a walk in the park! Building a relationship of support is the primary goal.
There is an initial 1-hour orientation for new volunteers, followed by a monthly 1-hour training for all volunteers.
Not interested in mentoring? Help is also needed on the activity committee, special event committee, preparing food for get-togethers and child care during meetings.
