Volunteering Opportunities

See “contact information” below to volunteer and learn more. Opportunities may include, but may not be limited to:

Client Advocate

For Individuals • Regularly • Daytimes

When a woman reaches out for Alternatives, you’ll become her advocate. You’ll listen to her story and seek to understand her concerns. As you offer information about pregnancy options, your goal is to support and equip her to make an informed decision—with the hope and encouragement that she would choose a life-giving option for herself and her unborn child. Male Client Advocates are also needed.

Education Presenter

For Individuals • Regularly • Nights

Your passion for youth and healthy decision-making can be put into action through educational presentations.

Helpline Volunteer

For Individuals • Regularly • Variable Times

When you answer calls to our 24-Hour Helpline, you’ll be a voice of support to women who need Alternatives. They may be facing unintended pregnancy, needing STD testing or struggling with post-abortion loss.

Post-Abortion Group Facilitator

For Individuals • Weekly or Regularly • Variable Times

For women who struggle with abortion loss, you will help create a safe and trusted place to begin the journey of healing. You will invite women to share their stories and encourage one another.

Ultrasound Clinic Sonographer

For Individuals • Weekly or Regularly • Daytimes

Through an ultrasound, you can offer a window into life. It provides an opportunity for each woman to learn about fetal development as she considers her pregnancy options. This volunteer role requires sonography experience and any of the following credentials: MD, PA-C, NP, RN, RDMS.

Special Event Volunteer

For Individuals or Groups • One-time • Weekend Nights

Put your organizational skills to work in preparation for our special events. Help us get the details in place as we welcome nationally known speakers and talent to inspire guests and raise funds for the ministry of Alternatives.

Mobile Clinic Driver

For Individuals • Regularly • Daytimes

Get behind the wheel of our Mobile Testing Clinic, a 36-foot RV converted to provide services throughout the Denver area. You will drive the vehicle from its storage location to a scheduled service location and park it for its daily service shift. You don’t need to stay with the vehicle during that time—just drive it back when the shift is over. Previous driving experience of an RV is required.

Receptionist

For Individuals • Weekly or Regularly • Weekdays

Your welcoming face provides a warm greeting to a client as she enters our office. You’ll then begin the client in-take process with her. In between clients, you will answer the phone and offer limited administrative support to Alternatives staff.
