Documentary Producer & Project Lead Volunteer
Helping bring an important story to life
Why this role matters
Maternal loss is still too often misunderstood, hidden, or difficult to talk about. Through a documentary project, TMM hopes to amplify the voices of motherless mothers, raise awareness of the realities of maternal grief, challenge stigma, and encourage meaningful change in how loss is understood and supported.
We’re looking for a volunteer who can help lead and shape this project from concept to completion.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in documentary production, filmmaking, journalism, or creative storytelling who wants to use their skills to make a lasting impact.

A note from TMM
This documentary has the potential to become one of the most impactful awareness projects we undertake. We’re looking for someone who shares our belief that stories can create connection, compassion, and change — and who wants to help bring those stories to the people who need to hear them.
