Ambassador Program

ABOUT

PPMW's Ambassador Program is back!

Applications are now open and will close Sunday, April 9th at midnight!

The Ambassador Program serves as an "on-ramp" for people interested in more deeply engaging with the reproductive rights community and actively supporting PPMW. Our Ambassadors are volunteers ready to advocate for sexual and reproductive health and education and abortion access across the DMV.

As we enter a new landscape for reproductive rights and face some of the biggest threats to abortion access we've ever experienced, we will need volunteers more than ever to help us mobilize here in DC, MD and VA, and effectively speak out against anti-abortion attacks. Apply now!

PROGRAM ACTIVITIES

  • Every Spring we will host an orientation for our new class of Ambassadors. This orientation is mandatory in order to fully participate as an Ambassador. 
  • Training will provide participants with structured activities, informal discussion, and guidance on how to speak on behalf of PPMW in terms of messaging, community engagement, education, policy and marketing. 
  • Bi-monthly check-ins and end-of-program cohort meeting.
