The Naomi Project is a free, confidential, interfaith program sponsored by the Virginia Council of Churches. It matches one volunteer with one pregnant or newly parenting woman in a mentoring friendship that extends through the pregnancy and the baby’s early development.

If you would like to volunteer to be a mentor, contact Laura Greenspan at 703-860-2633.

There is a special need for Spanish speaking volunteers.

The next training will be on Saturday, October 5 at Falls Church Presbyterian Church located at 225 E. Broad Street, Falls Church.
