Volunteer Oppurtunities:
Options Advocate
Compassionate and caring individuals are needed to walk alongside women and men facing unplanned pregnancy decisions. Options Advocates educate clients on all three pregnancy options: parenting, adoption, and abortion.
Prep for Life & Parenting Advocates (Men & Women Needed)
Journey one-on-one with clients throughout their pregnancy by providing relational care, ongoing support, encouragement, and education. Client Advocates meet weekly with clients to cover lessons on prenatal care, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, newborn care, and parenting. These advocates build relationships that nurture and support clients, connecting them with additional resources and agencies in our community as needed. Male advocates specifically cover fatherhood lessons with expectant dads.
