VOLUNTEER!
Join our team of
Postpartum Angels
A little extra help from a caring, trained community member can go a long way during the first few months after having a new baby. Are you the one with an open heart and helping hand? Would you like to help families in your community build lasting bonds with their infants and connections to their community? Volunteer home visitors are needed now.


Our Mission
To bring community to families and their babies.

Our Vision
We envision a society where the transition to parenthood is supported and communities come together to ensure all infants thrive.

Our Story
Good Beginnings was founded in 1991 by three mothers in Northfield, VT who recognized a growing need for support for new parents due to the combined effects of shorter postpartum hospital stays and a diminished role for extended family and other traditional sources of support. Click to read more.
