Our Volunteers
Planned Parenthood has an ongoing need for volunteers for one time events, as well as regular weekly, and monthly volunteering. Our current volunteers range from teen peer educators to health fair volunteers. See below for a listing of our current volunteer needs. Our dedicated volunteers are essential to PPTCR and enable us to better serve the Austin and Travis county area. Get started by filling out a volunteer application and faxing it to 512.275.0181 or email it to simone.nichols@ppaustin.org.
Requirements
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.
Orientations will be held quarterly; our next orientation date is Thursday, November 6th. We have two sessions, one from 10:00am - 11:30am and another from 6:00pm - 7:30pm. Both sessions will cover the same content, please RSVP for the time that is most convenient for you. Email simone.nichols@ppaustin.org to RSVP or for more information.
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. Our next volunteer night is Thursday, November 20th from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Please RSVP to Simone Nichols at simone.nichols@ppaustin.org.
