VOLUNTEER

Volunteers are the heart and core of Aid for Women!
We would not impact the lives of so many at our centers and homes without the generous support of our volunteers. No matter what your time or talent, we have a volunteer position to fit. Many volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and groups at our centers and maternity homes. Aid for Women is very grateful for the service and commitment of our volunteers, and we hope the volunteer experience with us is always joyful and rewarding. For more information on volunteer opportunities, please contact our office at (312)621-1107 or contact@aidforwomen.org.

Vitae Corps Application
Whether it is helping a resident learn how to use a diaper pail or listening to her, each is so beautiful to me. I love being able to serve and love these women, getting a chance to give them something that they may have never experienced before.
Hope Rubera, Vitae Corps Volunteer
What brought me to Aid for Women is the faith component practiced within our daily routine and having Jesus present in the tabernacle in the chapel. Living in community with these women, we laugh, cry, dance, joke, sing and talk about everything from spirituality to our upbringing and our relationships.
Stephanie Rivas, Vitae Corps Volunteer
I came to Aid for Women through prayer and discernment of my desire to serve God in His most vulnerable populations. I find most fulfillment in empowering women to see their potential and irrevocable dignity in the eyes of our Heavenly Father.
Allison Stump, Vitae Corps Volunteer
Being a VC is a unique position. We’re living with the women and children we serve. We’re there for them in all the ups and downs of life. Although challenging, it’s been a blessing to accompany the moms, whether that means watching movies together, going to doctor appointments or watching their babies take their first steps.
Jazmine Luebbert, Vitae Corps Volunteer
