Get Involved

There are many ways to help.

Friends of Peanut is 100% volunteer-run. Whether you have time, skills, or simply want to help, there's a way for you to make a difference for NICU families.

Volunteer Roles

Ways to get involved.

We're looking for compassionate, committed people to help us support families when they need it most.

01

NICU Peer Mentor

Share your NICU experience with a family going through it right now. Peer mentors are NICU graduate parents who offer practical tips and reassurance to families earlier in their journey.

02

Care Package Volunteer

Help us assemble and deliver care packages to NICU families in the Chicago area.

03

Corporate Matching

Many employers match charitable donations to nonprofits. Check if yours does and double your impact for NICU families.

Hospital Partnerships

Partner with us to reach families from day one.

We work with NICUs to make sure families have access to free tools and resources from the moment they arrive. If your hospital would like to distribute Roo or our other resources to NICU families, we'd love to connect.

Partnerships are always free for hospitals. We provide materials, support, and any setup help your team needs.

Express Interest

Tell us a little about yourself and how you'd like to help. We'll follow up within a few days.

Support the Mission

Not ready to volunteer?

A donation goes directly toward free resources for NICU families. Or share Roo with someone who might need it -- that helps too.
