clinic escort program
For almost 40 years, Abortion Action Missouri has facilitated the only Clinic Escort program in the St. Louis metro region to support direct patient access to essential abortion care.
Our volunteer clinic escorts provide those walking into clinics, whether patients, companions or staff, with a physical sense of security and a calming presence from the moment they exit their vehicle until they are safely in the clinic.
Currently, AAM provides clinic escorts to three St. Louis-area clinics. Escorts provide a sense of calm and support to patients facing anti-abortion harassment.
To become an AAM Clinic Escort, interested volunteers must pass a screening and attend a two hour in-person or virtual training.
Abortion Action Missouri also hosts a Community Engagement Escort Training for those who want to take their escorting skills further. Community Engagement Escorts are often requested to provide a safe presence for events, political rallies, and assistance at the Capitol. Those who wish to become a Community Engagement Escort must have already taken AAM’s Clinic Escort Training.
