WOMEN’S RESOURCE CENTER

Project HEALTH’s newest program – the Women’s Resource Center – is located at the OB-GYN clinic of Boston Medical Center and serves a diverse group of primarily low-income women ranging from pregnant teens to seasoned grandmothers. With the goal of improving the broadly-defined health of women and their families, volunteers provide women with information, referral services, support and advocacy on issues ranging from housing to child care to health insurance. Volunteers will staff a help desk at Boston Medical Center, assisting women at the hospital and maintaining continuing relationships with them. Because the Women’s Resource Center is a relatively new program, volunteers will have much power to shape the program’s development and will have the freedom to take on projects that reflect their own interests. There will also be many opportunities to work closely with doctors and other hospital staff, as well as with the other Project HEALTH programs that operate at Boston Medical Center.
