Benefits: Why We Volunteer

From Our Volunteers

"Motherhood has taught me to be patient and kind, to maintain my sense of humor under duress…. Now why the hell can’t I list it on my resume?”

Shawna, PEPS volunteer and blogger at www.momsalive.com

Volunteering with PEPS - A lovely way to help new families to negotiate the first few months of parenting

Many of our volunteers have been through PEPS as participants and would love to give back to our organization in a meaningful way.

Others have a passion for the parenting adventure and want to share their skills and enthusiasm among families in their community.

Whatever your motivation, the rewards of volunteering include:

Training and experience in group facilitation and the opportunity to stretch your skill set
Demonstrating volunteerism to your own children
The satisfaction of supporting new parents at a vulnerable time
Knowing that you have had a hand in building a more cohesive community
