Here are some ideas to get you started:
1.  Donate whatever you can whenever you can:  It requires a tremendous amount of resources to provide the exceptional programming offered at Birth Roots.  Birth Roots does all it does with a tiny staff, shoestring budget and a devoted board and you, our alumni.

2.  Volunteer your time:  Maybe begin by volunteering for a one-time event like Sandsations or the Baby Booty or sit at a table at the Farmers Market distributing information.  Or you might try a sustained commitment as a mentor, sharing your skills, or sharing your connections.  Or, join th alumni board and shape the future of this organiztion.  This is yours to nurture and grow!

3.  Tell anyone and everyone about your experience here:  Your doctor, midwife, pediatrician, firends, family, mama group, co-workers...  Write letters, tell stories, grab some cards and hand them out.
