Our Piko Pals program is looking for Volunteer Group Leaders to facilitate new parent support groups. Groups meet weekly for 12 weeks in various parks, homes, and community centers. Group size is limited to 10 participants to encourage intimacy and friendship among parents.
During each 2-hour meeting, Group Leaders lead new parents through sharing their highs and lows of the week, followed by a discussion on a relevant topic (infant feeding, sleep, emotional changes, transition back to work, etc.).
Group Leaders do not need to be parenting experts. They do, however, need to be nurturing, empathetic, and supportive of a variety of parenting styles and diverse backgrounds and cultures. Group Leaders also need to attend a 2-hour training, and have organizational skills and the ability to coordinate weekly meetings through email and text with the participants.
