Help Us Grow the Impact of The Stella Effect
We have big dreams for the future — and we can’t get there without you. The Stella Effect is expanding our programs, outreach, and support for families, and we need more passionate individuals to help make it happen.
We’re looking for volunteers who are proactive and comfortable taking initiative, but who also check in with questions and updates along the way. Whether you bring a specialized skillset or simply a willingness to pitch in, you’ll play a valuable role in helping us grow.

Help us bring our fundraising ideas to life! This includes launching campaigns like our “The ____ Effect” birthday fundraisers — creating the DonorBox fundraiser page, making a promotional graphic in Canva, posting it on social media, and updating our link in bio. This is an area where we’re really looking for someone to own the process long-term. We promise it’s not a huge commitment — but juggling it alongside everything else we do means it would make a huge difference to have a dedicated volunteer leading the way.
Other projects, like our “Meet the Campers” fundraiser for our annual CCK program, are more of a one-off, annual effort. Both ongoing and one-time fundraising support help fuel our mission and keep our programs thriving.

Work alongside our Communications & Creative Director to develop new campaign ideas. You may collaborate with other directors — for example, advocacy for Trisomy Awareness Month or fundraising for special campaigns. We also welcome volunteers with an eye for design who can create occasional on-brand graphics to keep our outreach materials fresh and engaging. This role may also include posting on our social media accounts, designing our email newsletters, and brainstorming creative ways to grow our subscriber list.
-
Be a second set of hands to our Treasurer by helping with tasks like developing program budgets, supporting travel reimbursements, and assisting with other financial duties as needed. This role is flexible and helps ensure the workload is shared.
-
Make a personal connection in our community through meaningful touches:
Mother’s & Father’s Day cards — help prepare, stuff, and mail cards each year to parents in our community.
Angel baby birthday cards — work from a shared calendar to proactively prepare and mail cards on behalf of The Stella Effect each month.

We’ve had to pause birthday celebrations more recently due to limited resources, but we would love to bring them back! When we’re ready to do so, we’re looking for volunteers who are creative, organized, and proactive. This role involves connecting with parents to learn their vision for the celebration, taking initiative to plan and coordinate details, making calls to piece everything together, and reaching out to vendors for donations when possible. Your efforts would create unforgettable moments for families and children who deserve to be celebrated in a big way.

We’re just beginning to grow our advocacy efforts and would love to know who feels called to be part of this. It might look like sharing a quote for a campaign, joining in an awareness initiative, or opening your heart to tell your family’s story. If you have interest in being involved as this takes shape, please let us know — your voice and experience are truly what bring meaning to this work.
