Committees and Volunteer Opportunities

 
 

Babysitting Coop

The babysitting co-op is a group of moms who share babysitting. We have weekly drop-offs and also do some trading of sitting on an individual basis. Please join us at one of our meetings to find out how we operate and how you can become involved. Please call for more information or to attend a meeting or drop-off.

Care Providers Committee

As a member of this committee you will help shape the criteria for Care Providers in the nursery. Work with the Care Provider Coordinator, sit in on interviews for potential Care Providers, and check references so we can ensure the highest quality of babysitting possible.

Finance Committee

This committee consists of the Financial Coordinator and a paid external bookkeeper. The Financial Coordinator is responsible for depositing money, providing documents to the bookkeeper and writing checks.  This is a great way to maintain your resume!

Membership Committee

This group is responsible for answering questions about Mothers’ Center to members or potential members, answering our voice mail and email, maintaining our mailing list, coordinating volunteers for the committees and other programs, sending out weekly emails for programs coming up, coordinating assistance of meals to members with new additions to the family, and contacting new members. If you would like to help with a job that you can do from home, this is a great committee.

Newsletter Committee

This committee creates our fabulous newsletters (3 times per year). From beginning to end this group does it all. We may solicit advertisements, articles, and bits and pieces of fun information to include in the newsletter. If you would like a job you can do from home, consider this committee where you could use your marketing skills, editing skills, and coordinating skills by organizing the brochure distribution; or if desktop publishing is your thing, you could put the newsletter together.

Programming Committee

Want to help shape the program calendar? This group might be for you! We start by brainstorming program ideas and playgroup activities and then recruit program hosts. Provide program write-ups to the editor and/or webmaster to share with our members via the newsletter or the website. This committee is vital to Mothers’ Center success; join us!

Public Relations Committee

The Public Relations Committee works to build relationships in the community that facilitate the mission and goals of Mothers’ Center. We work to collaborate with other parenting groups for community outreach programs, organize press releases and other promotions for Mothers' Center events, and have a presence at events in the community to disseminate information about Mothers’ Center. If you are interested in helping Mothers' Center reach more families in the Fort Collins area, consider this committee.

Steering Committee

This committee consists of all members who volunteer for positions on the MC Organizational Chart. Each month this group gets together to discuss the Mothers' Center business. Members from each MC committee usually attend, and all Mothers' Center members are encouraged to participate at this meeting. Steering Committee members take turns hosting this committee and the Secretary is the chair of the meetings.

Fundraising Committee

Are you great with organizing fundraisers? Do you have experience or want to gain experience in grant writing? This committee is fundamental to the continuation of the Mothers’ Center!! We have several great fundraisers that we do on an annual basis, and are always open to new opportunities!  If you have experience or want to gain some, this is the committee for you!
