​

We’re looking for a compassionate, creative Family Support & Volunteer Coordinator to join our small, values-driven team at Nurture the Borders.

You’ll:

  • Plan and co-facilitate warm, inclusive group sessions and classes for parents and babies

  • Coordinate and support our volunteer befrienders and group helpers

  • Help build a strong sense of community through events, outreach, and everyday encouragement

  • Use your energy, creativity, and empathy to create safe spaces where families can thrive
