Abstract
  • Women at the Durham County Health Department have been participating in Centering Pregnancy group prenatal care since 2004. Since the program's inception over a decade ago, over 200 volunteers from various community organizations and institutions have provided an added layer of support to pregnant women and their families by donating their time to help facilitate groups. As the number of Centering groups increases and volunteer/student interest remains high, a volunteer manual was identified as an outstanding need in an effort to standardize and ensure the sustainability of this important program, as well as to create consistency and reduce liability of volunteers and the health department. Based on a literature review of volunteer management best practices, the rational for the manual is established. Then the manual itself is presented along with the revision process based on a pilot test and feedback from other volunteers/students.
