Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are our lifeblood.

Each week, our volunteers faithfully invest their time and energy in ministering to the women who seek our help. In fact, most of us on staff first got involved in pregnancy care ministry as a volunteer. There are lots of ways you can invest your time and energy into reaching abortion-vulnerable women in our community.

Questions About Volunteering

If I take the training, am I automatically on staff?
No. The training does not commit either you or the Center. If after taking the training you decide that you want to volunteer, you will be interviewed by a Director to determine if there is a position for you here.

Should I take the training if I'm not yet sure I want to volunteer?
Yes. There is extensive information such as effective communication skills, sharing the Gospel, and helping others in crisis. This will be useful to you in your local church work or interpersonal relationships.

What about bilingual volunteers?
We would love to have more bilingual volunteers! Hablo espanol?

Any particular need for volunteers right now?
We always love to bring new people into the ministry that have a passion for God and for serving others. In 2011, we provided more pregnancy tests and ultrasounds that ever before. God is opening up doors for our ministry to grow, and we need a strong community of volunteers to keep moving forward.

If you're interested in volunteering, please contact Kathy Nagle at kathy@qcpregnancy.org or at 797.3636.
