| Volunteer Stories | | Here's what some past Volunteer Leaders have said about volunteering at Planned Parenthood:
"When I was in college I learnt about all of [the] freedoms we take for granted and how we got them from progressive people who weren't afraid to stand up for their convictions. Then several years ago, I started seeing signs that many of those freedoms were being whittled away.... So I decided that even though I'm just one regular person, I want to be able to tell that… I did something constructive." –Diane, 2006 Volunteer Leader
"Reproductive justice is important for me personally. The reason I volunteer with Planned Parenthood isn’t all about me, though. Every signature I collect and every phone call I make to a Wisconsin voter helps to ensure reproductive freedom and healthcare choices for all Wisconsin women and families. As a woman and as a citizen my health and the health and well being of my fellow Wisconsinites is critical to the overall economic, social, and political welfare of our state and our country." -Jeannine, 2006 Volunteer Leader
"I kept getting emails calling for volunteers [from Planned Parenthood]. Reading them, I thought, maybe someday, and then I'd Google away the afternoon. But last summer, I started to feel like…I should be doing more than hanging out and going to work…. So I responded to one of the emails. Sure enough, it paid off. Now I know that I'm contributing to something positive." -Jeff, 2006 Volunteer Leader |
