Volunteer
The Volunteer Experience
Our work would not be possible without the generous and dedicated individuals and teams who give their time and talents to support the children and families of Beyond Bedtime.
Over the years, volunteers have played a vital role in helping us create safe, nurturing connections with children. Today, while our program model has evolved, that spirit of care and community remains central to our mission.
Currently, the majority of our direct volunteer opportunities with children—through our Bedtime Ready for Kids sessions—are made possible by corporate sponsors who fund the programming and join us on-site as part of their group experience.
If you are not volunteering with a corporate group, there are still plenty of ways to get involved!
From organizing pajama and book drives, to hosting folding parties, to supporting a local chapter or even leading one, there are meaningful ways to support children and families in your own community. These actions help fuel our mission, bringing consistency, comfort, and sleep health education to the places it’s needed most.
If you’d like to be notified about special individual volunteer opportunities, including an invitation to a seasonal Bedtime Ready for Kids session, please fill out our interest form and we’ll keep in touch.
If your company is interested in sponsoring a group session, contact us at development@beyondbedtime.org.
Thank you again for your generosity and time. You help make bedtime better for children across the country.

Pajama Folding Parties
Whether you’re volunteering solo, with friends, or as a corporate team, our pajama folding experiences are a hands-on (and heart-filled!) way to make a difference. You’ll help sort and prepare cozy pajamas and storybooks for delivery, making sure every package that leaves our Center is ready to bring comfort, joy, and a better night’s sleep to the children we support. Want to bring the pajama folding fun to your office? Contact us at development@beyondbedtime.org and we can provide you with more information on how your company can host its own pajama folding party.
Chapter President Service
Our Chapter Presidents are extraordinary volunteers who lead with heart and help bring comfort, consistency, and bedtime joy to children in their own communities.
Spread across the country, Chapter Presidents coordinate the local collection and distribution of pajamas and books, working closely with nearby schools, shelters, and service organizations. Many build their own teams of volunteers and create systems that reflect the unique needs of their communities, all in service of better bedtimes for children facing adversity.
Some have been with us from the very beginning. Others are just getting started. Together, they form a powerful network of local leaders who bring our mission to life across the country.
As we grow into our next chapter as Beyond Bedtime, we’re exploring even more ways for Chapter Presidents to help deepen our impact—from grassroots fundraising efforts to future opportunities that support sleep health education.
There’s no brick-and-mortar chapter office, just people with a passion to help. And a belief that a better tomorrow starts tonight.. Learn more about our local chapters. Interested in starting your own or supporting your local chapter? Email info@beyondbedtime.org.
Pajama & Book Drives
Pajama and book drives are one of the most popular and meaningful ways to support Beyond Bedtime—and anyone can do it! Individuals, families, companies, schools, scout troops, faith groups, and community organizations across the country have hosted drives to help bring comfort and joy to children at bedtime.
Every new pair of pajamas and every storybook you collect helps a child feel safe, cared for, and ready to rest. It’s a simple act with a big impact, and a great way to rally your community around a shared cause.
