Volunteer

Ministry Opportunities: You can make a difference in a young woman’s life.

We have ministry tasks for many different people with many different talents. If you have an interest in volunteering, please call us to discuss how you may serve here.

  • Peer Counselors – Meet one-on-one with young women who may be experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, administer pregnancy tests and provide accurate information related to the outcome of that test.
  • Mercy Project Instructors - Teach group classes offered to our clients. Classes are generally one to four weekly sessions, usually offered in the evening. Call for more details.
  • Men’s Ministry Peer Counselors – Meet one-on-one with young men who have accompanied a girlfriend for a pregnancy test.
  • Prayer Team – Requests to cover clients’ specific needs in prayer are e-mailed weekly.
  • Medical Volunteers – Nurses or ultrasound technicians who are qualified to provide ultrasounds for our clients.
  • Office Support - Project and clerical support (assembling folders, preparing newsletters for mailing, etc.)
  • Church / Community Liaison - Represent Care Net at your church – periodically set up information booths, promote Care Net events, and to be generally knowledgeable about the ministry.
  • Monthly Donors - Include Care Net in your monthly budget to cover operating costs.
  • Financial Underwriter – Provide finances to offset the up-front costs related to hosting a fundraising event so that all funds raised at those events goes directly to the ministry. This is also an opportunity to advertise your business.
  • Event Planning - Work alongside staff and other volunteers to coordinate CPCNWH events, such as the Walk for Life (March/April) and the Fall Fundraiser and Silent Auction (October).
  • Donation Management – Sort and process the many donations of baby clothing, diapers, and other baby items received for distribution through the pregnancy center.
  • Facilities Maintenance – Provide general maintenance for our facility, such as replacing light bulbs and air filters, repairing fluorescent light fixtures, etc.
  • Baby Crib Assembly – We receive donations of baby cribs that must be assembled and checked for completeness and safety before they can be provided to clients.
  • Office Cleaning & Maintenance – CPCNWH does not contract for any professional cleaning services. All cleaning is done by the staff and volunteers who come in for this purpose, especially on our monthly Saturday work days. This is a great opportunity for an on-going family service project.
  • Transportation Volunteer –We need volunteers who have a truck or van and can be called on to transport donated items that cannot be used at the center to another non-profit organization.


Saturday Work Days

You may also join us for our monthly Saturday Work Days in which members of the community join us to help with whatever is needed that month. General work days are planned for March 20, April 17, May 15, June 19, July 17, August 21, September 18, October 16, and November 20 and usually run from 9 a.m.-noon.

Please contact Nanette at 281.477.8200 before making plans to attend one of these work days so that she can advise you of any potential changes to this schedule.

The March and April work days will be at our current location in Willowbrook Court. Starting with the work day on May 15, please plan on coming to our new location at 14530 Wunderlich Drive, off FM 1960.

We will be having a large community work day at 14530 Wunderlich to prepare for move-in on February 27, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

Volunteer Training Schedules

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please call Kim Zollo, Training Coordinator, and arrange for a tour. Once you've visited the center, you'll see how your particular skills may be used in ministry.

Prior to going through the four-session full volunteer training, volunteers are required to attend one Spiritual Foundations session. This 3-hour session is offered once a month, at different times and days of the week in an effort to accommodate a variety of schedules.
