Court Ordered Community Service Hours: Babies & Beyond accepts, on a limited basis, volunteers who are required by a court to complete community service hours. We are happy to work with you to fulfill your community service obligations; however, please note the following:
- We cannot accept volunteers with a past or current conviction of a violent or menacing nature, or any offense of a sexual nature.
- Certain volunteer roles are restricted for court-mandated volunteers. Positions involving direct client contact or sensitive responsibilities will not be available for placement.
- Volunteers must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on-site.
Before filling out paperwork or signing up for a shift, you must first contact volunteer@babiesandbeyondwi.org to provide the following information for review and approval:
- Violation (full details, not just broad/general terms such as “disorderly conduct”)
- Date of violation
- Number of hours required
- Where verification of hours must be emailed to
- Due date for completion of hours
Please note: We cannot provide documentation for court-related (mandated or recommended) community service hours completed without prior approval.
Bilingual volunteers also needed for our Spanish-speaking Team.

Two of our volunteer opportunities include delivering goods to clients, either at the hospital or their homes. Volunteers must have a valid driver’s license, insurance and complete a background check.
Baby Care Packages

Baby Care Package volunteers sign-up to be “on call” for 1 month, meaning they’ll deliver all Baby Care Packages for that month.

Safe Sleep volunteers are divided up by regions and will be matched up to deliver Safe Sleep packages close to their desired areas.
