Join Our Team

I started working for Planned Parenthood in Arizona because originally I worked for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. Once we start seeing patients, it is quick to go. We're seeing patients back to back to back and taking our time with them, really making sure they have all the education they need, that all the information they're asking for, any questions they have are answered. And we're really here as not only somebody to help them figure out if they need any medication or what resources they need but as somebody who can listen, I think that's a big part of working for Planned Parenthood in Arizona is being somebody who can listen because not a lot of people can advocate for themselves.

I feel as though in my work at Planned Parenthood Arizona, I truly get to live and put into practice my principles of supporting people in what they believe is right for their lives and giving them the knowledge to make the best decisions for them. So often times that looks like providing an abortion for a patient who comes to me seeking one. It's truly wonderful and career affirming for me to be able to offer care to people who wouldn't get it elsewhere.

Here at Planned Parenthood Arizona, I look forward to coming to work every day, working around like minded people that are mission oriented as myself encourages me to want to come to work every day. Not only that, but we have a fun environment and it's it's unlike any other place I've ever worked. It's the first place I've ever worked as a nurse where I'm free to be who I want to be.

I knew I wanted to get into reproductive health and serve our community that is traditionally underserved and experiences challenges accessing care. I was fortunate to apply and be accepted into the service corp program that includes committing to working for the affiliate for a minimum of two years and during that time Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) pays my student loans. This opportunity freed up my finances to allow me to go back to school and further my career growth to become a nurse practitioner. I credit that to Planned Parenthood, both the Arizona affiliate and the Federation.

I got started with Planned Parenthood through their Planned Parenthood Generation Action club at the University that I went to. I eventually became a part of a Raiz program, which worked very closely with our Latin community. And from there I just became a volunteer lead. And now I am full time staff leading the volunteer program. I remember on my first day of working with Planned Parenthood, I was working with an organizer, and she said a quote to me that I now think of every single day when I'm volunteering. She said that volunteers come for the cause, but they stay for you. And I feel like that really resonated with me because relational organizing is what really drives people.

In the Education Department at Planned Parenthood Arizona, we believe in a holistic approach and so for culture change, that means really addressing not just to the community at large in the standard people who live in the world, but also very specifically parents and caregivers, people who are raising children, who are raising the next generation, who they themselves, more often than not, didn't get a lot of support in education, in understanding their own sexuality. There are a lot of reasons why I do this work. And one of the most beautiful things that I get to witness is the shift, the aha moments, the putting down of shame that people have been carrying around with them for things that are totally human and totally normal.

When I first started at Planned Parenthood Arizona, I came in as a health care system in our Glendale Health Center. And was very much just in love with all the services I was able to provide for our patients. There is such a plethora of opportunities to learn about how to deliver care for family planning, planning services such as birth control, gender affirming care, and then also on the other side of abortion services. After a few months of being a health care assistant, the affiliate launched the Department of Clinical Research and I pursued the research coordinator position. I was able to continue my work as an HCA, not only in Glendale but across all seven health centers we have in Arizona, and then also begin work in our new research department, which involved working with sponsors to bring in new studies and working with universities and other collaborators to really set the strong foundation for our research department.

I chose to work at Planned Parenthood Arizona, because I believe the work we do and our mission is extremely important. I believe we help more people than anyone knows. I think it's super important to do the work that we do. I'm very passionate about it, and overall, it's also a really great place to work. It's really understanding everybody's really kind of close knit, easy to talk to, everyone gets along. It feels like all day you're just having fun with friends and I really enjoy going to work. So I think that's important for me is working somewhere where I wake up in the morning and I'm excited to go.

Katelyn Brunswick, Medical Operations Coordinator 

The top reason that I choose to work with Planned Parenthood of Arizona is because I am very, very passionate about equality for all people. And I feel like, unfortunately, in this day, equality does not always equal to equal. My passion is to help support and make it equal for everyone and care about everyone and make sure that everybody gets the care that they deserve no matter what.

 I have been involved with Planned Parenthood Arizona, since I was a teenager in high school. It's always been an organization that I really admired because it put people first. I then went to college and went on to be an education outreach intern, and there I was tabling and talking to people in the community and teaching everybody in Arizona who would come to our tables about sex education. I was then able to get a job with the marketing team and become a digital communications coordinator for this team. I have created a lot of content for our social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and they're we provide accessible resources to all our followers about sex education and about the services that our health centers provide.
