Welcome to the HER Foundation Volunteer area where you can find peer support in our Volunteer Nework or join #TeamHER to become part of HG Progress!

Hyperemesis Gravidarum is more than a pregnancy illness that impacts women and their families. HG impacts society. If you are reading this, you likely faced HG or a loved one did. Millions of women have HG across the globe each year and rely on resources and support from the HER Foundation to make it through their pregnancy.

HER Foundation is leading the efforts globally to educate doctors, increase awareness, and improve the management of HG, so mothers and babies can have a healthy future. We have helped over two million people since we came online in 2000 thanks to hundreds of volunteers.

We are donor-funded and largely volunteer-run. Grant funding for HG research is extremely rare, as is funding for program support. So we need your help!! Get involved! Have fun! You'll find that volunteering helps you heal and find #HGsisters for life!

Sign the International Petition

Find a volunteer: If you are currently suffering with HG, find support from others who understand. HER volunteers offer social support and kindness. They are not medical professionals. They are HG survivors who want to make sure no one else ever feels alone with HG.

Volunteers In Action

HER volunteers are amazing people, and we are thankful for every single individual. We could not do what we do as a Foundation without all of them. We established the monthly Volunteers in Action award to honor those volunteer(s) who distinguish themselves in their work and commitment to our mission. Let us know if you would like to nominate someone!
