Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in making a difference for life in West Tennessee. If you are a Christian woman who feels called to minister to other women facing unplanned pregnancies, we would love to train you to become a volunteer client advocate. If you have a medical degree, you may be able to perform ultrasounds and pregnancy tests. If you are interested in either position, please fill out the form below and one of our clinic directors will reach out to you! If you would like to support our ministry in other ways, we have more opportunities for both men and women described below.
