Volunteer with Us
Looking to Help? We Need You!
There are many important and rewarding volunteer opportunities with Birthright of Charlotte. Click on the tabs below to learn more about the ways you can make a positive difference as a part of Birthright’s Mission.
Be an Office Volunteer
Would you like to join our awesome team of Office Volunteers?
An Office Volunteer is the very “Life Line” of Birthright, offering one-on-one aid and positive assistance to girls and women faced with an unplanned or problem pregnancy. Volunteers come into the office three hours a week with another volunteer and are responsible for following up by phone or email with clients they assist.
There is a three-part training session followed by on-the-job training to observe an experienced Office Volunteer interact with a client. An Office Volunteer is a caring individual who listens with their heart to convey hope. For more information email Volunteer Form to express your interest and give us needed information.
Knit Booties
A GIFT OF LOVE RECOGNIZING A GIFT OF LIFE
A positive pregnancy test at the Birthright office many times brings anxious, unsettling feelings to a client. From a basket full of soft and colorful baby booties, the client may choose a pair for her baby as his or her very first gift. It is just one simple way Birthright helps a client by letting her know others love and care for her.
Volunteers are always needed to crochet or knit booties in any color of the rainbow. Patterns can be found online at various websites. A favorite is bevscountrycottage.com.

Host a Shower
WE’RE HAVING A BABY SHOWER!
Birthright of Charlotte is blessed to have many church and civic groups organize baby showers for the benefit of new mothers and their babies. Articles of clothing, blankets, diapers, baby wash, and other toiletry items are collected and donated to help keep the clothing and supply room at Birthright stocked. A mother who has just given birth can visit Birthright and receive a collection of items that will enable her to begin caring for her baby. A Birthright Baby Shower is such a great way to support women in crisis pregnancy situations.

Baby Bottle Campaign
The Baby Bottle Campaign is Birthright’s annual fund raising, awareness, and education campaign, available anytime but typically occurring from Mother’s Day through Father’s Day.
Birthright will provide empty baby bottles containing an informational insert to be distributed to members of your church or organization and ask that they be filled with loose change, cash or checks and then returned at the end of the campaign.
It is a fun way, especially for families, to help the moms and babies.
If your church or organization would like to participate, please call or email Hank Chardos at 803.543.8144 or hank@birthrightofcharlotte.org
