CAPS Pregnancy Clinics

I have been a volunteer at CAPS Pregnancy Clinics for 13 years and it has been such a rewarding experience. The staff and volunteers are incredible people with hearts full of compassion for those they serve. I will probably stick around until they have to kick me out!

I have seen CAPS bless so many pregnant ladies! From offering free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests, to providing compassionate counseling for women in all situations, CAPS has been a wonderful support to the communities that they serve. Patients leave the clinic feeling so grateful for the care, and also expressing gratitude for being in a non-judgmental environment.

I have absolutely loved volunteering at CAPS! The staff are kind and supportive, they have a great training program for volunteers- both for nurses, counselors, and receptionists- so that we are prepared to give our best, educated care to all clients who come through and receive care from the CAPS team. Our goal is to encourage and support every client that comes in, and I feel the team does a great job at working together - from the time they walk through the door and speak to the receptionist to the time they leave after seeing the counselor and nurse - to create an atmosphere that is open, non-judge mental, and supportive. I always leave CAPS lifted up and encouraged. It has been a blessing to me and I hope and believe it is a blessing for clients as well!

As a volunteer for CAPS I am so impressed by the training, compassion and professionalism of this organization. They offer high quality early pregnancy services.

I walked into the Pacific Beach location and the staff were incredibly warm, friendly and inviting. Having an unintended pregnancy is so scary, so I really feel like they do a great job of educating people on all the options to consider and then the woman/couple can make their own choice; pressure/guilt-free. Also, they have awesome new-parenting classes, counseling, and even give new born packages to new moms who really need the help. Not to mention, their main role of giving free pregnancy testing, STD testing and ultrasounds is carried through with professionalism and with a professional medical staff. I love this organization.

“Wow, this was a wonderful experience” “This clinic is really great, far better than I expected” “Everyone was so professional and very caring”
These are just a few of the comments we often get from our patients at CAPS! As a PCS (patient care specialist), I’m so glad to be part of a Team that cares and offers support to meet the needs of our San Diego Communities!

Provides high quality healthcare to pregnant women. It is accredited by Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care(AAAHC). Training for everyone who works at CAPS equips them to care for patients with education, referrals and follow up with a team approach.

My experience at CAPS as a volunteer has been amazing! The focus on each patient that comes through our door is how can we most effectively help this individual in a way that surpasses their expectation and that they leave with the knowledge that their is someone who truly cares about them and that their life matters.

Many people in San Diego do not know about this medically licensed clinic that offers free preganancy testing and counseling to anyone. In each of its three locations, the clinics are staffed by professional, licensed medical personnel and equipped with state-of-the-art ultrasounds. The clinics are spotless; the staff are friendly and welcoming to anyone. Parking is free at all locations. After my retirment from decades of nursing in local hospitals, I am honored to be a nurse volunteer with such a top notch facility.

I started volunteering for caps 5 years ago after retiring. It has been a wonderful experience. I always tell people if you want to volunteer this is a good organization to volunteer for. They are caring, supportive, and non-judgemental.

CAPS is an organization that serves women and men with a high level of confidentiality. There is an atmosphere of comfort and yet capability. All services are free of charge. The staff welcoming, friendly and supportive. This is a wonderful organization with very caring people working there.

CAPS is an organization that serves women and men with a high level of confidentiality. There is an atmosphere of comfort and yet capability. All are welcome free of charge. I refer many to their services for pregnancy or questions regarding lifestyles or even fertility.

I have been on both sides with this nonprofit. I have received services as well as offered my time to serve women who need emergency counseling and ultrasounds for their unplanned pregnancies. Taps pregnancy services is a place that is welcoming, kind, and a great resource for women in need of a gentle helping hand and quick service.

This non profit does so much for women and children. They do a great job at counseling and helping with practical needs. Whoever goes in here or calls will immediately feel loved and welcomed.

I love the way CAPS treats those coming in for their services. Many babies have been saved.
The counselors are wonderful and caring.

I think one of the things I admire most about CAPS is their commitment to help young women regardless of background, belief, or stage in life. They truly desire to come alongside the women they serve. They also care about what happens to the young women after they leave. They really walk the talk, so to speak.

I love CAPS and the amazing love and compassion they have for women! Such an honor to volunteer with them!

CAPS is an amazing organization, helping and empowering women from all walks of life. Each woman that comes into one of their offices is met with unconditional compassion and support. A great deal of time, effort and training is put into providing the best service possible for whatever situation a woman may find herself in. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an incredible group of volunteers.

During the almost fourteen years I volunteered at CAPS as a Counselor I witnessed firsthand the impact this place has in every client that comes in. Women from all ages come burdened with fear, confusion and uncertainty. Volunteers and staff at CAPS are able to provide a safe, non-judgemental place for these women where they find not only help and resources, but also a caring and personal environment. A comment I most usually heard after a counseling appointment was "This place is so nice, I felt comfortable and welcomed here."
CAPS will be forever in my heart, and love to tell others about it.

As a weekly volunteer at CAPS, I get to see first hand the care and concern extended to clients who find their way to our center. Counselors, staff, and medical personnel are at once professional and compassionate to each woman seeking our services. Their are also counselors available for the men who's lives are impacted by the unplanned pregnancy of wife or girlfriend, also administered with genuine concern. CAPS is positively assisting women of San Diego, whether their need is counseling, resource referral or simply stability and kindness during uncertain circumstance.

I know first hand several women who have been helped by CAPS's service to pregnant women. Now years later these gals have grown into precious women who have appreciated CAPS in their time of need and their children are healthy happy children. As a board member/volunteer for CAPS since it's beginning I am proud of the work CAPS has done in our community and proud of their vision to expand and grow into other areas of our community hoping to reach out to others who need our service.

CAPs is a wonderful nonprofit. I have seen first hand how the free services the organization offers have benefited families in the community. Many of the patients that come to CAPS have no health care insurance and wouldn't be able to receive free vitamins, ultrasound, referrals, or health care education. It provides a professional health service to the San Diego community.

I know several volunteers who serve at CAPS on a weekly basis. These women are fully trained and they are spiritually equipped to help assist those who come through the doors concerning unplanned pregnancies. I have only heard of good experiences for all who seek their services and they feel valued and well cared for. It is wonderful that they have four locations in San Diego County. I do contribute financially because I believe in the work that they do for the unborn and their parents.

CAPS is a very unique place filled with love from the moment you enter the clinic. I have been a volunteer for just under a year and I have been humbled by the amount of compassion the staff and volunteers have for each person and their current situation. CAPS is very intentional about the level of professionalism, care offered, and keeping things up to date and current. I have friends that have needed the assistance of CAPS and were so happy that CAPS was an option!

CAPS is a loving, caring place that helps women with unintended pregnancies with resources, free pregnancy tests, ultra sounds and a caring listening friend.

I feel good supporting CAPS as I am confident they maximize every dollar they receive. All the staff and volunteers work hard to make CAPS a top notch pregnancy center that can really serve their clients well and meet their needs.

I have been volunteering at CAPS for 6 years as a nurse sonographer. The volunteer program at CAPS is done well and with excellence. They are commited to maintaining a supportive and stable environment for their volunteers so that we can do our best to help and serve women in our communities.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my experience. To any woman seeking advise and information I highly recommend CAPS. You will be met with professionalism, compassion and care. You matter to the staff and volunteers. To any prospective volunteer I personally know you will be part of a well-trained, dedicated team. As a donor I encourage your financial partnership. CAPS is run responsibly and efficiently. Your donation can literally make a life changing difference. Thank you.

The people who run CAPS are very caring people. I know the staff and some of the volunteers, and I would recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in an unplanned pregnancy. The people at CAPS are ready to help that person think through options and to help in any way they can: providing medical services and baby items/clothes; answering questions; connecting with other helpful agencies; or simply lending a kind, listening ear. I am glad that they are planning to open another location soon, and I am thrilled to support them--it's a very deserving nonprofit!

I have been volunteering with CAPS for over a year now. I only have outstanding things to say about CAPS. The ministry here touches the hearts of so many women. I volunteer as a nurse, so I am able to educate women on their health and provide medical support in a time where they face many questions, are feeling scared in their current situation, or are excited for whats to come. It is such an honor to be with these women and support them in their pregnancies! I always feel supported by the staff of CAPS and look forward to serving each week; this is such an uplifting experience! I can't wait to see how we continue to grow with the opening of our third clinic!

CAPS' focus truly is to serve women well. The staff and volunteers are there because they care about women in crisis pregnancies and want them to fully know their options. Staff and volunteers are extensively trained on how to make patients feel understood, cared for, and loved.

I'm a current volunteer at CAPS and I absolutely love this ministry. They truly care about the women (and men) they serve. I am most impressed by the on-going training they provide their volunteers. They truly do care about these women and it's always stressed that we are not there to save babies necessarily, but to serve and love the women that come in looking for help. It is always their belief that God does the saving and He works through CAPS in beautiful ways. Of course they care for the babies, but listening to and providing a safe place for these ladies to come and figure out what they need is always first and I love that, I feel it takes the pressure off of me in my own power and gives it to the One it belongs to. It's wonderful to be part of the work that God is doing through CAPS.

I volunteered at CAPS when it first opened. They have added so many resources since then. You will not find more loving and caring people anywhere. I recommend you visit if you are facing an unplanned pregnancy or if you have a planned pregnancy and you need support or visit just to see what all they do there. You will not be disappointed.

Lisa the peer counselor is awesome, she called me every so often until my son was born and was always an encouraging blessing..... I am looking into volunteering and training now because I want to be there to help and encourage others as she did with me. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AT CAPS!!! MM

I'm so excited to be a part of this organization and to see it growing. What could be more important than loving on and helping young girls during this crazy and unexpected time in their lives. CAPS inspires me to reach out.

i want to support CAPS because this organization is here to serve the needs of woman who find themselves in a position of an unplanned pregnancy. They offer free songrams, free counseling, there goal is to give love an acceptance unconditionally. The biggest reason is because this organization gives the baby the best chance at life.

I was concerned about the struggle we, as women, go through when faced with pregnancy unplanned. What am I going to do? How can I support this child? What are others going to think of me? How can I get out of this mess? Who can I talk to without the whole world knowing my business? Where can I go for help? Why is this happening to me? When am I going to learn?
I found a great place to learn, and be formally trained, to help other women answer all of these questions and make well informed, confident decisions about their individual situations- College Area Pregnancy Services, (CAPS).
CAPS strives to re-enforce women in all phases of their lives, from Spiritual to education and employment choices, love and marriage, family development, and especially in their time of need during pregnancy.
And, for women who are looking forward to pregnancy and need a positive affirmation and some resources to help, CAPS is a welcoming place to visit.
CAPS offer free counseling, pregnancy test/verification, ultra sound and photos, and many support services, and material aid.

I am currently in the training process to become a volunteer peer counselor with CAPS. I was amazed at the thoroughness of the 8-week classroom training and even more amazed at how much I learned about myself during that time. The training is meant to teach the basics of being a good counselor - and it definitely does that - but it also lead to a lot of growth in my relationships both to God and to other people.

It has been a blessing to see the dedication of the staff members and the volunteers to the cause of helping women through unplanned pregnancies, to each other, and to Christ. I am looking forward to being part of this organization in whatever capacity I can for as long as I can. CAPS is a blessing to the San Diego community and the Lord is using this organization for much good.

I recently volunteered my time at CAPS while completing my nursing clinicals for my bachelors program. Everyone on the staff was friendly, welcoming, kind-hearted, enthusiastic, and very professional. I have never worked with such an amazing group of dedicated volunteers who care so much about their community and their mission.

Staff is great and wonderfully dedicated to helping the community and reaching out and educating all.

I have been volunteering as a nurse at CAPS for over a year, and I am humbled and blessed to be part of an organization that lovingly serves young women who find themselves in a vulnerable and difficult situation.
CAPS ministers these women with compassion, kindness, and respect.
This organization provides free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and counseling. The goal is to help these women choose life and carry their pregnancies to term. CAPS provides resources and encouragement during their pregnancies with follow-up care and counseling after they give birth.
CAPS is a wonderful organization to be a part of!

I was a model for the nurses to get their re-certification. They were super friendly when I came in and didn't mind at all that I had my two other children there with me. I was a little disappointed that they could not give me a definite answer as to the gender of the baby, but they were able to get some good pictures of the "area" so I could make my own guess.

Overall, it was a nice experience and I would definitely recommend people to this place.

CAPS is a great service provider for women who find themselves in an unplanned situation of being pregnant or think they might be pregnant. They provide counseling, support, free pregnancy tests, and free sonograms. Also providing post abortion counseling. They are here to serve.

As a long time resident of San Diego, I am so appreciative of what CAPS is offering women in desperate circumstances. They provide free pregnancy tests,high quality ultra sounds, counseling, practical help for immediate needs and much more. Women are welcomed into an environment of love and acceptance, not judgment, where true help and education is offered. The staff is highly committed to the cause and vision, which is felt immediately when one walks through the door.

As a resident of San Diego County, I am so appreciative of the work of this organization. Their services are completely free to women who need help and guidance.

I have been a volunteer at CAPS for a number of years and know that it is a very worthy, non-profit organization. The quality and diversity of services offered is impressive. Some of these are:
-pregnancy tests,
-counseling,
-education
-sonograms,
-help with material resources such as maternity and baby clothes.

Depending on the need, there are referrals for doctors, social agencies, housing etc. All this and a genuine concern for every client is at absolutely no cost to the client. Clinics at both locations are funded entirely by donations and I count it a privilege to serve here.

I first became aware of CAPS through an informational donor dinner we were asked to attend by some friends. Skeptical of what services were actually provided, my husband and I decided to check into it further before donating our rather small discetionary funds. We were so pleased to learn that CAPS cares about all the women who step through the doors and provides an astonishing amount of services to meet many needs of these women from providing pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, pre-natal vitamins, referrals to county services that will help them (from Medical to in-home nursing care), even baby clothes for those needing it-all free! Most importantly, the counselors provide information in a loving and caring way so each client understands all her options so she can make an informed decision about this extremely difficult situation she finds herself in. From counseling about STD's to pre-natal development to post abortion care, CAPS truly cares about each woman and her situation. Not only have we become a monetary donor, I've since become a lay counselor and would recommend any woman to seek help here.

I have been volunteering at CAPS for 4 months and it has been great! Everyone here is welcoming, loving and passionate about being here. Knowing we can make a difference in womens lives is such a wonderful thing. CAPS is a place where women can come and feel safe and secure and always know the door is open to them. I love being here and being involved with such an amazing organization!

I have volunteered as the medical director at CAPS for seven years. I have the responsibiity of making sure thah our medical license is in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and that our medicial services are top notch. We offer pregnancy tests and high quaitity diagnostic ultrasounds to our clients. The effect on the mother when she sees her baby's heart beating on the big screen is a joy to behold. I haved worked closely with the staff, the Board members and many of the volunteer clilent advocates over this time and I have been extremely impressed with the whole team's vibrant faith in God and commitment to helping young women who have unexpected pregnancies or who have suffered the profound ill effects of previous abortion. I recommend CAPS very highly!

I just finished going through CAP's rather comprehensive training including sitting-in observation sessions to become a lay counselor. One thing I came away with, so far, is that the counselors and staffs here are focused on one thing: loving the women who come through the door no matter what circumstances and backgrounds.

We're not here to persuade them or impose our belief but we're here to help these women who are faced, sometimes with impossible situations, to be able to sort through with options and information. I hope to share in CAPS' passion in loving and caring for these women. I'm proud to be part of such an amazing mission.

I was planning on helping CAPS in the construction stage 9 yrs ago. However, for eight years, I have now worked with the women who have suffered with the effects of abortion. I know that CAPS brings them comfort in the pain of their decision. I have had the privilege of watching women go from desperation to hope in a program that CAPS offers for healing. I have been told many times, "Everyone should know about CAPS and this program."

Thank you CAPS and all the volunteers for what you do and the time you spend with our women! You are all a blessing!!!

I have supported CAPS for the past 10 years and have watched this organization grow into a vibrant community resource. Hurting women and families are being helped by the services and support that CAPS offers.

I have been volunteering at CAPS for over a year and enjoy it so much. It's a great place for women to come and get good information to help them make the best decision for themselves. It's a relaxing and comfortable enviroment.

I have volunteered at CAPS for about 5 years now and I can honestly say that these girls truly care. Volunteers focus on the value of human life which not only includes the life of the baby but also the pregnant women. If you are in a difficult situation, give CAPS a chance to help you through this trying time. They will pray with and for you and offer material aid as well as referrals if you are in need of something CAPs can't provide. These girls desire to help you and will not judge you for decisions you've made in the past. Give CAPS a call, you will be happy you did.

As a young woman in my early 20s, I called CAPS out of desperation after poor choices left me in a deep depression. I found peace the moment the receptionist answered the phone, and I found healing through the post-abortion services at CAPS. The LOVE shown to me blew me away! Now I volunteer to help other women in a variety of situations. Had CAPS not been there for me, I literally may not have lived to become a wife, mother, and volunteer.

I have been volunteered for seven years. I wish that CAPS had been around when I was a teen. The young women that come in get so many wonderful services and references and they are loved and prayed for.

CAPS is a wonderful organization providing women truth and love when facing pregnancy. CAPS provides support, caring, concern, and resources for women during an unsure time.

I have volunteered at CAPS for over a year now and have been amazed by this organization. This is a place for women to feel safe and loved in the midst of their crisis as well as feel empowered to make decisions. We deeply care for every girl that walks through our doors and love her no matter her situation or what decisions she mkaes.

I have been a volunteer with CAPS for just over a year now. I feel very fortunate to have found such an amazing place to volunteer. I love the way the staff and volunteers are ready to support every woman who walks in the door and empower her with knowledge that will allow her to make an educated decision. Not only do we support women during a critical point in their lives, we continue to love and support them regardless of the decision(s) they make.

The staff at CAPS is very knowledgeable and experienced at what they do. Not only do they offer some of the latest in ultrasound technology but also a comfortable atmosphere in which to experience the momentous occasion of seeing your little one growing inside for the first time. I highly recommend this center if you are looking for genuine care and direction in the planning or preparation of having a child.

CAPS is a wonderful resource for women. The staff is amazing and so informative and helpful. I got an ultrasound with our second child at CAPS and really felt so at ease. It's such a great place for women!

I have volunteered with CAPS for a few years now, and I am so thankful to be a part of such a wonderful ministry. This organization has protected and saved the lives of many babies, while also reaching out to women in need of counseling. I highly recommend this organization!

Even though I was married when I became pregnant with my first child (at 19 years old) I was still scared and overwhelmed. I can't even imagine what it woud have been like without the support of my husband and family. The reality that some women really are all alone in it breaks my heart. So, I have to get the word out to everyone woman I know that CAPS is willing to be her support system and she doesn't have to go through it all on her own because we are here for her.

CAPS is a phenomenal organization! The wonderful staff helps you evaluate your options, your plans, and your future while, wat the same time weighing the risks involved and sharing all the resources available.

Each volunteer has a passion to serve God and the community. College Area Pregnancy Services truly does make a difference in the lives of young women [and men]. They did mine!

I have seen the hours spent by volunteers to help women, men and families in a time of need when they are not sure where else to turn. The compassion shown and generosity of time in the clinic is well above average. I hope that more people turn to this clinic when needed without hesitation.

We have supported CAPS from the time it was just a dream of a few faithful women. We have watched in amazement as it has grown and have seen many women and couples help in times of great distress and need. CAPS is such an important organization and our favorite place to donate.

I was approached to be a CAPS Board Member and happily served for 5 years. It was a great experience working with the other Board Members to help steer CAPS into the future.

CAPS has been an amazing organization to watch grow from the very beginning. The love they have for the women in our community is joy to see. Always working with the clients in the area they need most support; either emotional, physical or spiritual.

College Area Pregnancy Services (CAPS) is a great place to volunteer. I get to share with the parents their first moment of seeing their unborn baby/babies through Ultrasound. I cry, laugh and pray with them for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. It's a great honor to be a CAPS with many other nurses and volunteer who have the same heart of serving women in their most happiest and vulnerable time. God bless CAPS. :)

CAPS has been my favorite place to work. I had such a rewarding job knowing I was helping so many people. CAPS is a great place for women to go who aren't sure if they are pregnant or who know they are pregnant and want assistance. For free a woman can get: to talk to a lay counselor, a pregnancy test, educational information, an ultrasound, referrals, baby items etc. The women who see us are grateful for our services and are thankful we are there to help.

I see women and babies helped with physical and emotional issues. The work done here is priceless and eternal. Thanks CAPS for meeting needs in our community.

My experience at CAPS was nothing short of amazing. When you look at that pregnancy strip and see pregnant -- and you are single and it was not in YOUR plan, you can easily freak out. CAPS is a wonderful warm place to go and just talk if you want to - like FREE counseling, it is so great! I remember the first time I went to talk and I just sat and vented and talked for an hour, crying and discussing my feelings. They have so many educational tools so you can explore different options for you and your baby. I did not feel pressured in any way and only felt supported and loved by these people who did not even know me, but knew alot about the situation I was in and truely wanted to help. The people who work for CAPS have a passion for helping women with unplanned pregnancies and they do their job out of true love!! I definately recommend for you to just stop by the office if you are in crisis or just have any questions at all and are looking for support!

I initially called CAPS to see if I could make a donation of baby items...and then proceeded to inquire about volunteer opportunities. After attending my volunteer training and meeting wonderful staff and volunteers, I knew for sure that I was in the right place. The moment you walk in the door of CAPS, you know you are absolutely loved and appreciated. The volunteer receptionists, nurses and counselors are the most loving, compassionate women and the mission of CAPS is evident to anyone who walks through the front door. The amazing volunteers are there to meet each client where they are at and love them unconditionally. I am so proud to have the opportunity to be part of such an amazing organization.

CAPS is a strong organization, equipped with outstanding female staff and high quality volunteers. The Executive Director is a woman of purpose and gratiousness, always looking to strive ahead in our community to proactively assist women facing unplanned pregnancies. I have the utmost confidence in the organization and their mission. I am proud to have them serve in my community and be a part of such a great organization.

I have been volunteering with CAPS for over a year, now, and have found this organization to be an inspiration. The care and love extended to all who enter the clinic, the professional teamwork of the staff & volunteers, and the attention to detail of every phase of this operation attest to the high standards that are achieved at College Area Pregnancy Services. I have found that assisting the community through the services offered here has been very rewarading. Women who have come through these doors find compassion and loving hearts to welcome them and so many have expressed their gratitude that we were here for them! This clinic is so supportive and makes every effort to inform, educate and train every volunteer to be well-equipped and lovingly able to minister to others and I am just happy to be a part of it!

I have known about CAPS through my church for many years and knew I wanted to be involved in supporting its efforts to help women with alternatives to abortion. The volunteers treat their clients with love and support and so many of them make the decision to carry their babies to term because of the love and support they receive. The provide free pregnancy tests and free ultra sounds and they offer counseling for post abortion clients as well. This is an amazing organization!
