    Looking for Mothers to Help New Moms - Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan

    JF&CS Lauren and Mark Rubin Visiting Moms is looking for volunteers to serve new moms in the Boston communities, particularly Dorchester, Roxbury and Mattapan. The Rubin Visiting Moms program matches experienced mothers with new mothers who would benefit from a supportive connection. The Rubin Visiting Mom volunteer, who receives training and ongoing supervision from JF&CS staff, provides supportive visits to the mother of a newborn once a week until the baby’s first birthday. Additionally, the Rubin Visiting Moms group meets bi-weekly for supervision.
