First Place OPTIONS is a non-profit organization that has been in existence since 1992. We support women and men who are facing an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. We specialize in decision aid support and provide our clients with accurate and up-to-date information and education about their options so that they can make informed decision. As a volunteer you may be interested in:

  • Investing your time as a volunteer peer-support counselor
  • Investing your time in areas of administration
  • Investing your time in fundraising events

As a team we work together towards a common goal, and every person significantly contributes to that goal regardless of what role we choose to be in. Volunteering is a gift and it is something that everyone can do. Thank you for choosing First Place!
