Volunteer with Bridgercare
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Bridgercare! We are so grateful that you thought of us and we can’t wait to meet you.
About Volunteering
If you want to volunteer at Bridgercare because you love Bridgercare, family planning, sex ed, helping people, being an amazing advocate in our local community, and are just generally a rock star, WE WANT YOU TOO!
Due to concerns over patient privacy and HIPAA regulations, only medical practicum students are allowed to work directly with patients. However, we do have an awesome Bridgercare Brand Ambassador program that may be a fabulous fit for you.
-
Basically, we ask you to come to learn all about Bridgercare, our services, family planning clinics across the state and country, abortion access, what’s going on politically, types of birth control, etc, and then you go out into the community armed with information to help both friends and strangers alike in an informal, peer to peer fashion. As an official Bridgercare Brand Ambassador in our community, you will be better able to answer questions people have and refer them to Bridgercare or our community partners. It is basically a “volunteer to learn” opportunity because knowledge is power!
-
You will meet once a week for a month (4 consecutive weeks). Days of the week vary, but we generally choose a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Each session will be about 2 hours long (6 -8 pm) and snacks are provided. After your 4th session, you graduate! We ask that you only sign up to be a Brand Ambassador if you can make 3 out of the 4 classes for a particular session (we do recognize that you have a life outside of Bridgercare…). We plan to offer the Brand Ambassador Program three times a year – Spring (April/May), Summer (July), and Fall (Sept/Oct).

Hurray! We hoped you would say yes 🙂 Please just fill out this form, and we will be in touch as soon as registration opens for the next session.
If you have any questions that aren’t answered here, please email Emily at eallison@bridgercare.org. Thank you again for caring deeply about our work and our 5,000+ patients across south-central Montana!
