Welcome to Birthright

At Birthright, we understand the challenges related to unplanned pregnancies. Birthright is available to women for as long as they need us. We offer love, friendship, and support to women who are pregnant or think they may be pregnant.  Birthright is interdenominational and is not involved in any political activities, or lobbying. Birthright’s focus is on loving the mother, reminding her that there is hope and ensuring she is not alone.

Get involved

Birthright relies on the dedication, time and talents of volunteers. We welcome any and all individuals who share our philosophy and commitment to offer loving, confidential, nonjudgmental support to those who are pregnant or think they may be pregnant. There are many ways to get involved and to help moms on their journey. Would you like to work with clients, sort clothing, write letters, help within the community, or offer professional services? No matter what your particular gift, Birthright can use you. Full training and mentorship is provided for our volunteers so you can be prepared to help the women who need you. Training is provided in 4 - one hour sessions and is flexible to meet your schedule. Volunteers working with clients are scheduled for 1-4 shifts per month; shifts are 3 hours long. Volunteers who work with the clients do so in person, by phone, or by email; providing practical support and Birthright guidance.
