Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers drive our work to empower families. With help from people like you, we’re making an impact through education, research and advocacy, but there is still work to do. Join us to mobilize your network and raise the critical awareness and funds to improve the health of moms and babies.

We believe that every baby deserves the best possible start. Unfortunately, not all babies get one.

Will you take the lead?

send a note of hope

Every year 4 million babies are born. This is an exciting and challenging time, but can also be scary when everything doesn’t go as planned. March of Dimes supports families before, during and after pregnancy through research, education and programs that create healthy moms and strong babies. It starts with mom but we know it’s a family affair.

Show your support by sending a note of hope to a mom or dad to be or to a family with a baby currently in the NICU. Sharing your advice, experience and words of encouragement. Your note will go a long way in letting others know they are not alone.

We’ll happily share your note at an upcoming March of Dimes baby shower or with a family with a baby currently in the NICU.

Or, download the template and write your own. Once written, please mail your notes to
March of Dimes 1550 Crystal Drive Suite 1300 Arlington, VA 22202
Attn: Notes of Hope

Let’s reach as many moms, dads and families as possible!
