Volunteer Opportunities
Dear WOMB Community,
After an empowering year of growth in 2025, WOMB is excited to share that in 2026 we will be offering consistent monthly gatherings and expanding programs like our new Reading WOMB Lending Library and our beloved Doula Collective, to include many additional events throughout the year.
​
Our Nursing Nook program is also expanding—our goal is to have the Nook be present at over 30 community events this year.
​
We continue to gather feedback on how best to meet the needs of local mothers, and are partnering with several wonderful organizations, including Village of Mothers, PhotoVoice, local doulas, Dartmouth, and the North Country Health Consortium, to name just a few.
​
With this growth, we’re opening up volunteer opportunities for anyone passionate about supporting mothers, birth, and women’s health in our community. Please take a look and see if any of the following may be a good fit for you—or someone you know:
