Community involvement makes Mama Club happen! There are so many needs and opportunities that we have a place for you, whatever your passion and whatever your time or monetary resources.

(1)  Some people prefer to support the work done through Mama Club monetarily or through material support:

1. $ 25 per month covers the cost of paper goods and plastic ware used during Mama Club meals
3. $ 60 per month covers the cost of purchasing diapers from the Brazos Valley Food Bank as a partner agency
5. $ 75 provides a book of bus tickets to help Mama Club girls get to pick up locations or to job interviews
7. $150 per month covers the utility costs for climate control of the nursery and education room used by Mama Club
9. $800 provides one week of summer camping experience for a teen and one child; additional children are $200 each.
11. Gift cards in $10 - $20 increments for door prizes or emergency support of a teen or her child
13. New or gently used baby and children's clothing (newborn to 5T), shoes, crib and bassinett sheets, toys, educational and developmentally-stimulating toys for ages 2-5, and equipment such as car seats, bassinets/cribs, strollers, high chairs, bouncers, etc. for inclusion in the Mama Closet

(2)  For those who prefer being in the action and seeing the changes in teens and their children face to face, the following opportunities exist. Applications and Criminal Background checks are done on all who have contact with teens and their children. Training and support is provided by the staff of Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach and Young Life Brazos Valley Staff.

1. Nursery Supervisors - typically "Moms with Experience" who supervise nursery volunteers and children weekly or bi-monthly as their schedule allows
3. Nursery Volunteer - typically college students but is a great place to get a baby fix if you're "waiting to be a grandmother," can serve once or many times in the semester
5. Mentor Moms - Women who will commit to being a nonjudgmental, supportive, and consistent adult in the teen's life. Face-to-face contact is required on a weekly basis and can be a wide variety of types and duration. When face-to-face contact cannot happen, a phone call is the next best thing. Email Victoria at Victoria@PregnancyOutreach.org for more information.
7. Musicians to provide musical support of a teaching topic or praise opportunities periodically as club programming permits

(3)  For those who prefer activity behind the scenes, we have many ways you can support and impact the ministry:

1. Provide Meals - Individuals or small groups provide a hot and nutritious meal for 40. Menu suggestions are provided and we request you commit to a specific date so we do not double book a night. Please Email Vickie Thomas at VickieThomas@PregnancyOutreach.org for more details or to sign up to provide a meal.
3. Organize Donations from the community for display in our Mama Closet.  Prepare diaper packages for distribution as needed. Usually takes 1-3 hours weekly. Can be shared with other volunteers.
5. Diaper Coordinator- inventory supply; order and pick up diapers and wipes from the Food Bank; prepare diaper packages for distribution and deliver to Mama Closet (can be shared between two people or with other Mama Club volunteer support).  Good opportunity for stay-at-home mom/dad. 
7. Prayer Support - receive weekly or bi-monthly emails with activities and prayer requests for the ministry and its participants and supporters
9. YoungLives Committee/Board Members - interface with an Area Director of Young Life Brazos Valley for the purpose of vision casting, and long range planning. For more information, Email JP Harris at YLBV@verizon.net
