As a Pregnancy Support Coordinator, you will be part of our Pregnancy and Parenting Support Program. The program works to increase healthy birth outcomes among at-risk, low-income families by helping expectant parents build tools for good decision-making.

Services are comprehensive, confidential, free to clients, and open to people of all faiths. You will serve the ten counties of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and meet with clients in their homes, at one of our offices, or in the community.
