Buffalo was recently ranked the third most affordable place to live. This has not gone unnoticed and because of that, Buffalo has the fastest growing population of refugees of any city in New York.
The Priscilla Project is a mentoring program designed to assist medically at-risk, socially isolated women through their pregnancies.
This project is one of a kind across the country, however it is something we cannot do without volunteers like you, women who have an instinct towards motherhood and a compassion to those entering that incredible part of their lives.
As a mentor, you will spend time with and build a relationship with a pregnant woman. This can include taking them thrift store shopping, assisting them with medical appointments and milestones, and just being a person in the community they can trust.
We try to pair a mentor and mentor us as early as we can in the mentee's pregnancy to allow time to build trust. We ask that you be willing to commit visiting with your mentee 1-2 hours per week for at least 9 months. No experience is necessary, training will be provided.
