We are in critical need of volunteer friendship "counselors." Thorough, one-on-one training is provided. You choose your regularly 3-4 hour weekly shift.
Birthright volunteers assist clients by phone and in person. We provide pregnancy verification and remain in contact with clients throughout their pregnancies to help with any needs that arise. Many clients tell us that they decided to carry their unborn babies to term because of our caring and concern. We offer free pregnancy testing, free maternity and baby clothes, and free resource information.
We work to help expectant mothers with their legal, medical, financial and housing needs. All Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, and available to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, religion, economic or marital status.
Our sole focus is working to meet the needs of the women that come to us. No matter how difficult these situations seem, Birthright helps each woman plan constructively for her future.
We are currently operating by appointment only due to a shortage in volunteers.

About Birthright of Jackson
Location:
855 S. Pear Orchard, Suite 203, Ridgeland, MS 39157, US
Mission Statement
Since 1983 Birthright of Jackson has been providing caring, nonjudgmental support to girls and women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy. Often these girls and women seek out Birthright of Jackson to get a free pregnancy test and we discuss the results of that test with only them. We treat each client as an individual who deserves kindness, respect and personal attention to her unique situation and needs. We ask "How can we help you?" We encourage each woman to ask questions to explore her options without pressure or judgment.
Description
We are a crisis pregnancy counseling center. We do not protest, advocate or engage in politicial activities.
Birthright volunteers follow-up with our clients to check on their situation throughout their pregnancy. We lose touch with some of them. Others tell us that because of our concern and counseling they decided to keep their babies. Once their babies are born, we offer our clients diapers and infant clothing.
We also provide our clients with information and referrals to help them meet their legal, medical, financial and housing needs. All Birthright services are free, absolutely confidential, and available to any woman regardless of age, race, creed, religion, economic or marital status.
Our sole focus is on trying to meet the needs of the women that come to us. No matter how difficult these situations seem, Birthright helps each woman plan constructively for her future.
