Volunteer Opportunities

Families in Detroit and surrounding counties are in need of volunteers to provide information and friendly support during pregnancy, birth, infancy, and the family's formative years. The support program also utilizes volunteers to assist the staff in developing and expanding programs aimed at reducing the infant mortality rate and strengthening families.

Volunteer Opportunities Include:

PIP Volunteer Opportunity
Families in Detroit and surrounding counties who are in need of Parent Infant Partners to provide education and information on resources and friendly non-judgmental support during pregnancy, birth, infancy, and the first year of life. These volunteers serve as in home visitors who provide support to at-risk pregnant women.

Volunteers must be able to complete the 20-hour five-week training provided by the Infant Mortality Program. After completing the training classes, the partners will be matched with an expectant mother.

Training and direction is offered to prepare you for a volunteer role. A professional will work with the volunteer, to provide a team approach when working with families. Placement of volunteers is based on individual background, skills, and interests. Volunteering provides opportunities for personal and professional growth and satisfaction.
