All-Options Practical Support Network Volunteer Application

Thank you so much for your interest in working with All-Options! At All-Options people can find open-hearted support for all their experiences with pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and adoption. These issues are complex and every person’s reality is different, but we know one thing for certain: Everyone deserves to have all options!

We are currently seeking Practical Support Network Volunteers to provide tangible assistance to people seeking abortions in Indiana. Practical support volunteers are primarily responsible for giving clients a ride to/from their abortion appointments, and/or sitting with them in the waiting room to provide emotional support, though we hope to expand practical support to include housing, childcare, and other support for clients. Practical support volunteers must attend a full day training and pass a background check prior to providing any support to clients. The training will introduce volunteers to All-Options and our approach, abortion care and the laws surrounding it in Indiana, and guide volunteers in interacting with clients in an open-hearted, judgment-free way. We are prioritizing Practical Support Network Volunteers who live in or near South Bend, Indianapolis, or Bloomington, but we'd love to hear from you wherever you are in Indiana! The next training will take place on Saturday, May 11th in Indianapolis.
