  The Guardian Angel Program, GAP, is the Pregnancy Decision Health Centers’ new mentoring program. GAP is looking for compassionate mentors (Angels) who are willing to be matched with a single woman who is facing an unexpected pregnancy. The goal of GAP is to provide emotional support, spiritual guidance, and positive role modeling as she transitions into motherhood.
