Real Choices depends on the generous donation of time and talent
of our many volunters. By sharing your time with Real Choices you
offer loving support to women before, during and after an unexpected
pregnancy.
Volunteers need to be non-judgmental, open and loving towards
women of all backgrounds and beliefs. Volunteers must accept the
Real Choices PCC Statement of Faith and Principle and be willing
to attend the initial orientation. Additional training is required
for many of our volunteer positions.
