Do you have the time to make a steady commitment?  At Hope for Women Pregnancy Services we serve clients and their families in Abbotsford, Mission, Aldergrove, Langley, and Chilliwack areas. We are non-medical in nature and do not perform or refer for abortions, but provide free self-administered pregnancy tests, options counselling, pregnancy information and support, ultrasounds, volunteer doulas for birth support, and ongoing friendship through our volunteer peer counsellors. We also provide parenting support, and baby supplies (e.g. diapers, wipes, formula, clothing, etc.) for up to 2 years after the baby is born. Some of us are trained Post Abortion Counsellors so we offer post-abortion care and counselling for women who choose abortion, or for those around her who may have been affected by that decision. All of these services are free and available to everyone who visits our centre and are offered in a completely confidential, safe, and non-judgemental environment. We believe that women deserve to be respected and valued no matter what they choose. We also believe that women have the right to be fully informed about their options so they can make a decision they are comfortable with, not only for the moment they’re in, but for their futures as well. Note that because we invest time in the training of volunteers, we ask that you apply only if you are serious about this commitment.  We do require a commitment of one full day each week and are looking for long term commitments.
