Documentary & Film Production Volunteer
Helping us tell the stories that inspire understanding and change
Why this role matters
Stories have the power to shift culture, challenge assumptions, and spark conversations that lead to real change. We’re exploring the creation of a documentary that shines a light on maternal grief and the lived experiences of motherless mothers — helping raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for better support.
We’re looking for volunteers with filmmaking, production, or storytelling skills who can help bring this vision to life with care, creativity, and sensitivity.
What you’ll do
Depending on your experience and interests, you may support with:
Documentary planning and creative development
Story research and interview preparation
Filming interviews and supporting production activities
Video editing and post‐production
Creating short films and promotional content
Supporting audio, lighting, and technical aspects of filming
Helping shape a compelling, sensitive narrative that reflects motherless mothers’ experiences with respect and emotional intelligence

An interest in filmmaking, storytelling, journalism, or digital media
Creativity and strong communication skills
Sensitivity when working with personal and emotional stories

We welcome volunteers at all levels — from aspiring filmmakers building a portfolio to experienced professionals wanting to contribute their skills to a meaningful cause.

Flexible and project‐based
Can be shaped around your availability and the production timeline
