Volunteer

"To be a part of the transformation of these women from first-time mothers, a little unsure and sleep deprived, into more confident moms who are learning how to comfort and soothe and raise their children has been an exhilarating experience. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve them on their journey into motherhood."

¬ Suzanne McGrath, PEPS Newborn Group Leader

PEPS Group Leaders

Volunteer Group Leaders are vital to the PEPS Newborn and Baby Peppers Programs. Over 1,700 new families rely on these dedicated volunteers each year. Our volunteers tell us they find great joy and satisfaction in helping parents connect and share through their PEPS Groups!  You too can put your love of  families and babies to work as a PEPS Group leader. 

What are the Requirements?

Newborn and Baby Peppers Group Leaders coordinate and facilitate parent peer support groups for new parents. A commitment of 12 consecutive weeks is necessary (fewer if you co-lead a Group with a friend, spouse or partner). Experience with new parents and infants is very helpful and preferred, but not an absolute must.

PEPS provides specialized training that helps volunteer leaders create an informal, positive, and accepting atmosphere in their Groups. Volunteers have access to experienced PEPS staff mentorship while they are leading a Group. For more information on leading a PEPS Group, please contact PEPS Volunteer Manager Cate Palmer catep@pepsgroup.org
