VOLUNTEER AT A PRO-LIFE PREGNANY CENTER! Capitol Hill Pregnancy Center, the place where I volunteer, will be holding its next volunteer training sessions in October. EDITED TO ADD: There will be three evening sessions (which I think are two hours each), on October 7, 9, and 16, and one all-day session on Saturday, October 11.
This is a great place–you work with amazing, inspiring women (both volunteers and clients–many of our clients are incredible people), and offer counseling and material aid to women and children in need. I love this place. It is a Christian ministry, and all the counselors are expected to sign a statement of faith.
If you’re thinking about whether you want to do Christian crisis pregnancy counseling, or if you know someone else who might be interested, please consider CHPC. You can call Tara Woods at (202) 546-0117 for more info. Guys too–we’ve had a male mentoring program in the past and I think they’d like to start it up again.
