The International Cesarean Awareness Network is powered by the selfless efforts of our numerous volunteers. We cannot thank our dedicated volunteers enough for their cooperation and service in assisting ICAN with accomplishing its mission.
In an effort to acknowledge some of our amazing volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to offer support, education, and advocacy for the mothers in their area, the International Cesarean Awareness Network is pleased to announce Justen Alexander as the September 2016 Volunteer of the Month.
Justen Alexander, this month’s honoree, is an integral part of ICAN of Huntsville’s team. Her passion in advocating for women’s rights in childbirth is well known and ongoing. She recently has gone to great lengths to facilitate and organize a special meeting for the women in her community to receive support for birth trauma. She also went above and beyond to be last minute interviewed by a local news station on why improvement in our birth climate is needed, the lack of access to VBAC care, and how those things have affected her personally. Justen is a hard worker, and the ICAN of Huntsville team would not be able to do all they do without her. Thank you, Justen!

Tell us about being a volunteer with ICAN!
I found my local ICAN chapter through a Facebook parenting group. My life changed that day! Suddenly a new world opened and I discovered the doctor that would assist in the delivery of my VBA2C baby. The support I gained from the women in the chapter is invaluable. I get motivated when I see the way women are treated in our community. I want to help them realize they have rights, options, and that they should be treated respectfully in pregnancy and childbirth.
