CAF Helpline Volunteer Application

Helpline Volunteer Application

Thank you for your interest in volunteering on the Helpline with the Carolina Abortion Fund! We are happy to have such an outpouring of support. Because of the complexity of our work, we want to make sure CAF is a good match for prospective volunteers. Please complete the volunteer application to be a Helpline Caseworker with CAF so we can learn more about you, your skills, and your commitment to reproductive justice.

We will reach out in a few weeks to schedule phone or virtual interviews with candidates who look like a good fit with our work.

While we will be accepting applications from everyone, we are going to be prioritizing the experiences and needs of our BIPOC and Spanish-speaking callers during this selection round.
