All client services are facilitated by volunteers in our centers.

From RN's who have trained as Nurse Sonographers, to parenting mentors, who facilitate our parenting classes, to those sorting donations and arranging clothing in our baby boutique, the daily labor at our facilities is largely the responsibility of volunteers!

Most volunteer positions require a BCI/FBI background check at the expense of Heartbeat, as well as legal/safety training, shadowing time, and a minimum hourly commitment, but each position varies a little. Submit applications to info@heartbeatoflima.org or mail/drop-off to 421 S. Cable Lima OH 45805.

Positions Include:

• Housekeeping- daily cleaning tasks that keep our center tidy, sanitary, and allow us to offer a pleasing look and a comfortable atmosphere. 
  
  
  
  
  
• Events- We have several events throughout the year that require additional hands and hearts to give their time and effort, such as our January Walk-for-life, the Annual summer Car Show, our client Mother's Day and Christmas Parties, and our annual fall fundraising Banquet. They may also host Heartbeat booths at area events to promote volunteerism, market to clients, and educate the public on the services we offer.

• Material Aid- sorting donations, restocking items in the boutique, assisting with inventory management, cleaning incoming items, monitoring items for recalls, "pricing" the items our clients "purchase" with their "Baby Bucks" and more.

• Advocate- men or women who facilitate our parenting classes from a specially designed and fully prepared Christian curriculum. This person acts as a mentor, thought provoker, and accountability partner. They build the relationships our clients may not have an opportunity to build with others in their life. They provide the emotional and spiritual support the clients may not have with their families or faith communities.  

• Nurses- We recruit and train RN's with a valid Ohio license to become Nurse Sonographers who administer pregnancy tests, provide sexual integrity and health education, complete health history interviews, and perform abdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds at our Lima location. These women also have the honor of sharing prayer, scripture and mentoring with their clients.
