Volunteer Positions
Volunteer Spotlight
About five years ago, Kathy Fogle saw an ad in her church bulletin asking for volunteers at Community Pregnancy C
enter. She answered the call, and today, despite her busy schedule, continues to donate her last Tuesday evening of every month to serve CPC and our clients. In addition, when she is not serving as Client Advocate, Kathy also spends time picking up donations of clothing and toys for CPC.
Kathy says that one thing she has learned from volunteering is how to "focus on the woman." We care for babies by caring for their mothers, which is something that Kathy strives to do through her relationships with clients.
She also recognizes all of the good that comes from the volunteers. "We all have our own gifts, and none of us could do it alone," says Kathy.
You are absolutely right, Kathy. We definitely couldn't do it without you!
Volunteer Training
All new volunteers who interact with clients are asked to attend Heartbeat International's volunteer training, entitled Planting the Seed: The LOVE Approach. Training sessions are held three times a year, in January, May, and September and are led by CPC's Director of Client Services.
At training, volunteers will learn how to listen effectively, how to discuss tough topics, and how to encourage and guide clients who need help. Training not only helps boost confidence of volunteers, but also increases the effectiveness of spreading God's message.
To sign up for the next volunteer training, or for more information, call Julie at 330-825-1900.
