About Baby Haven Volunteer Educator

Baby Haven is an incentive-based program in Caldwell for low income families who are either expecting a child or have a child under 24 months old. You can change lives by helping parents set goals that promote healthy families.

Why should I be a Baby Haven Educator?
Baby Haven enables parents to provide each child with a healthy and stable start to life. Participants are rewarded for this continued education with resources for their infants. Our boutique provides formula, diapers, clothing, and more. Upon completion of the two year program, students participate in a graduation celebration ceremony and receive a certificate of completion.

How will I be helping?
Come share your knowledge and wisdom with the class! This program relies on special guests to provide information on a variety of issues ranging from nutritional health to budgeting. Your involvement will contribute to a well-rounded education. Whether your skillset comes from professional experience or from experience as a parent, your specific contribution to Baby Haven may meet an unfilled need in this community.
Is this a good fit for me?

A Baby Haven Educator must be:
• Happy to work with others
• Understanding of the trials that parents face
• Knowledgeable in an appropriate focus
• Patient and positive

What else do I need to know?
We meet on the second and fourth weeks of each month. We have classes in English and Spanish (translators provided when needed). You may be able to present multiple times if your content cannot be covered during a single class period. The Salvation Army requires a background check. We will contact you arrange an informal interview.
