Volunteer Roles
Join us in our mission to change the world — one mama at a time. Explore the volunteer opportunities below and discover how you can make a meaningful impact today.
Support a New Mama — One Call at a Time
We believe no mom should face the postpartum journey alone. Our program provides check-in calls throughout a mother's first year after birth — offering connection, encouragement, and a listening ear from one mom to another. You'll be trained through a brief, online course to feel confident and supported in your role. These are heart-to-heart conversations that remind new moms they're seen, heard, and not alone.
Become a Support Mom to Another Mom
Being a Support Mama means saying "yes" to walking alongside another mom who's seeking encouragement, connection, and a little extra support. It's a peer-to-peer role rooted in empathy, active listening, and showing up without judgment. You'll be matched with a mama who simply needs someone to lean on — a caring presence who understands the ups and downs of motherhood.
Share Your Story on the Let's Be Real Podcast
Every mama has a story — and when you share yours, you help another mom feel less alone. Join us as a guest on the Let's Be Real podcast, where real moms have real conversations about motherhood. You don't need to be an expert — just be you. Sign up to schedule a Zoom interview with our Founder & CEO, Nikki.
Share Your Talents — Events, Fundraising & More
It takes a village. From planning community events and fundraising to board service, grant writing, marketing, social media, and administrative support — there's a place for your skills at YANA. Whether you're a seasoned professional or simply eager to help, your time and expertise can directly impact moms, babies, and families.
