Give Back & Make a Difference
If you’re a supporter of 1st Way and looking to volunteer, check out different ways to get involved on our donor site, www.friendsof1stway.org.
From Client to Team Member
If you’re a 1st Way CLIENT – your journey can inspire someone else’s.
You’ve experienced firsthand what our center offers. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do for someone else what was done for me,” then we’d love to help you take that next step.
Why Volunteer as a Former Client?
- You Understand
You’ve been there. Your experience makes you uniquely qualified to encourage others. - You Have Something to Give
Whether it’s a listening ear, a helping hand, or a kind word—what you give can truly change a life. - You’re Ready to Grow
Volunteering is a powerful way to build confidence, gain experience, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
Ways to Get Involved
Baby Boutique Assistant
Sort, organize, and help other clients shop for baby clothes and supplies.
Peer Support
After training, some former clients can become mentors to new moms—offering encouragement, sharing their story, and listening with compassion.
Event Helper
Pitch in at Client Events or fundraisers—there’s always a way to lend a hand and have fun doing it!
Behind the Scenes
Help with mailings, organizing donations, preparing gift bags, or other simple but important tasks that keep the center running smoothly.
No Experience Needed! We’ll walk with you through the training and find a volunteer role that fits your strengths, schedule, and comfort level. If you’re not sure you’re “ready,” let’s talk about it—we believe in you.
