|  From high school students to senior citizens, our diverse group of volunteers donates thousands of hours of time and energy each year. While they are all unique, they share a strong commitment to the Planned Parenthood mission.
Here are what some of our volunteers and interns say about their experience at Planned Parenthood: |
|
 | I volunteer at Planned Parenthood as part of my MSW curriculum at UW Madison…. I am focusing on women’s health policy, and I am passionate about choice issues. When I thought about what kind of agency would bring my interests together and give me "real world" experience, the answer was clear: Planned Parenthood.
--Jennifer, MSW Intern |
|
| At Planned Parenthood I have learned a lot about… an organization that truly helps families and cares about women’s health issues, whether they have insurance or not. Before this last election, I tried to work as much as I could on phone banks and computer updating. I really felt a part of something I believe in. I was also a part of the team that helped to spread the word to many others about candidates that support the issues that are important to me. It was exciting!
--Chris, West Allis |
|
| I was alarmed by the assault on reproductive freedom launched by elected officials and felt that the public was, to a large extent, ignorant of this or felt that it was not important to them or their family. During the last election I volunteered at the Farmer's Market information table and distributed literature in Madison and other communities.
--Mary Ellen, Madison |
|
| 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, Milwaukee |
|
| There is so much societal injustice; it’s hard to know where to start trying to make an impact. The fact that women are still treated like second-class citizens as politicians attempt to pass laws about their health and bodies flabbergasts and angers me.... How could I look at myself in the mirror in the evening if I never spent any part of the day trying to do something positive?
--Noah, Milwaukee |
