Volunteer Guidelines, FAQ & Documents
01
What will I do when I volunteer?
Volunteers help set up, staff, and break down our Baby Basecamp tents at public events. You may assist with greeting parents, restocking supplies, wiping down surfaces, directing families to our changing or lactation areas, or helping ensure the space remains calm, clean, and welcoming.
03
Do you have specific time commitments?
Most shifts are 3–5 hours depending on the event. We ask that all volunteers commit to their full shift to ensure smooth operation and support for families throughout the event.
