Volunteers Needed
Volunteers are needed to help at Heartbeat of Toledo Pregnancy Support Center. We are currently looking for volunteers to serve as client advocates and parenting instructors. Heartbeat provides information, free pregnancy testing, compassionate listening, and assistance to girls and women dealing with unplanned pregnancies. The agency also offers prenatal and parenting classes where moms and moms-to-be can earn baby items while learning how to become better parents.
Heartbeat volunteers provide emotional support as clients make decisions as to the outcome of their pregnancies. Volunteers are needed to make appointments, interview clients, help with pregnancy testing, and assist the girls and women in obtaining social services. Volunteers can also help with the prenatal and parenting classes and provide office support. Heartbeat volunteers assist about 1000 women each year.
For more information or to register for volunteer training, call Heartbeat at 419-241-9131. A volunteer application is also available on our volunteers' page on this website
