Volunteer Training: Topics and Techniques

A peer volunteer is a trusted person who would freely provide support and guidance through our Peer Parenting Support program. Before our volunteers support new and expecting parents or caregivers, we want to make sure they have the information and resources they need to best support their matches. What do you think our volunteers would need to be able to be a good support person?

  • Which parenting topics would be best?

  • What skills (e.g. ways to communicate) would be important to have?

  • What kinds of materials would help (e.g. information binder)?

  • What would volunteers need to also take care of themselves?
