An application and an interview must be completed along with a satisfactory reference check.

Volunteers at CPC must be committed to maintaining confidentiality and following CPC's philosophy of care.

VOLUNTEER TRAINING...

WE WILL TRAIN YOU!

We offer a volunteer peer-counselor training seminar.  This course is approximately 30 hours worth of training in peer-counseling skills, communication skills, education on pregnancy, fetal development, STDs, abstinence, christian ministry, abortion, the sanctity of human life, and much more.  This training equips volunteers with skills and specific knowledge needed to assist our clientele.

ANNUAL SPRING BANQUET...

We have our annual Spring Banquet featuring a guest speaker, testimonies, special music, food and fellowship.  This is a great opportunity to hear an update on the ministry of the CareNet Pregnancy Center. We are always looking for underwriters for this event!

ANNUAL WALK FOR LIFE...

We have our annual Fall Walkathon in Redding & Red Bluff.   Our Walk features prizes for those who raise the most pledges, special music, activities for the children and lots of fun & fellowship.

BABY BOTTLE BANK DRIVE...

The Baby Bottle Bank Drive usually kicks off on Mother's Day and runs through Father's Day, but your Church, Sunday school class, youth group, or organization can do it anytime of the year.  Some groups do this all year round!  The basic idea is you distribute baby bottle banks to your members, they take the bottles home, fill it up with money and bring it back in a month or so, then have a collection day, celebrate & send CPC the money!  We can supply the baby bottles and the flyers.  You supply the coins to fill the bottles!

BABY SHOWER for CPC...

We would like you to consider holding a "Baby Shower" for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas or any time of year.  You could host a baby shower at your church, in your women's groups, with friends, family and neighbors.  You could have cake, tea, games, and prizes just like any other baby shower.  Everyone would bring a layette or baby shower item to the party to donate to CareNet Pregnancy Center.  One women's Bible study bought a dresser and filled with baby items and brought it to the Center.  What a wonderful way to show we care and to offer hope for the future.  Celebrate the seasons, bring joy to others.  Thanks!
