Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas offers several meaningful volunteer opportunities that are ideal for those seeking one-time or ongoing community partnerships. Our Volunteer Program focuses on supporting families with young children and pregnant women through various initiatives such as Stork Support, Safe Sleep Kits, Early Literacy, and more. Our volunteers help us prepare and gather items for our clients and families; and advocate on behalf of the Healthy Start Coalition of Pinellas to spread the word about the work we do.
