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 encouragement to moms-to-be

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. Show your support to moms- and dads-to-be by sharing your advice, experience and words of encouragement with a hand-written note. We’ll make sure to share it with them at one of our upcoming baby showers.

Download the template and write as many notes as you want. Be creative! 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 and dads as possible!
