Volunteering at Babes
At Babes, we welcome passionate volunteers who believe in our cause and are able to share their time and skills. We create a supportive and collaborative environment, where every volunteer is valued and empowered to share their expertise and inspired to develop their skills.
Service based volunteers like our trained and dedicated helpliners support our 24/7 helpline for pregnant teenagers and their families needing support and resources. Our helpline is manned solely by trained volunteers.
Skills based volunteering at Babes is usually ad-hoc and irregular in nature as the teenage girls we support is on a one-to-one basis. The minimum period of commitment depends on the assignment involved.

Commitment period is a minimum of 6 months.Skill-based and Ad-hoc Volunteering
We are always on the lookout for volunteers who are happy to share their skills and resources. From conducting workshops, copywriting stories of our service-users, advising us on the latest IT/HR practices and organising fundraising activities, we welcome such support. More often than not, we need ad-hoc volunteers to support us in administrative tasks and in-kind donations sorting.Helpliner
