At AGR, we encourage volunteers to help in the area they’re passionate about and gifted in. For Liz, that area is the administrative department. Liz volunteers at AGR every week reviewing client charts and helping with other tasks, while also coaching a girls’ soccer team, finishing her bachelor’s degree in marketing, and working full time.

“[AGR] told me it didn’t matter where I helped as long as it was something that I enjoyed and that fit my strengths,” Liz said. During her tour of AGR, Liz said she expected it to look like a clinic or a hospital. Instead, she found it warm and welcoming. Soon after her tour, Liz began working where she felt most drawn to- the admin team. “I thought all AGR did was pregnancy tests,” Liz said. “I had no idea they offered so many classes like ESL and Single Moms Support Group!” Liz says she brings up AGR in conversation with friends, coworkers, and family almost daily. She strongly believes there’s a need for this kind of care—not only in our community, but also in society. Liz says she is encouraged by her involvement at AGR. “I love coming in and seeing a bunch of familiar faces thanking me,” Liz said. “I always get a good vibe and know that I am valued and that I am helping.”
