Our Volunteers
Planned Parenthood has an ongoing need for volunteers for one-time events, as well as regular weekly, and monthly volunteering. See below for a listing of our current volunteer needs. Our dedicated volunteers are essential to our agency and enable us to better serve our clients and our community. Check out our volunteer listings on the right side of this page.
Requirements and Orientation
We require that our volunteers attend a volunteer orientation and HIPPA training. Depending on the program, further training may be required and commitment requirements may vary. Future orientation dates will be announced soon. Please register and apply to receive updates about volunteer orientation dates by clicking on "PPTCR Volunteering" on the right side of this page.
Volunteer Night
Join Planned Parenthood volunteers and staff at our administrative offices for a night of in-house volunteering and socializing. Projects will vary, but may include assisting with mailers, filing, organizing education and library materials, etc. It is a great way to help Planned Parenthood and mingle with other supporters. Future volunteer night dates will be announced soon.
