Volunteer
PPT is Looking for Volunteers!
Planned Parenthood Toronto is recruiting new volunteers for many of our programs! We are super excited to offer this to Toronto’s youth. Our volunteer programs provide training, skill development, and an education to young people in sexual health, creating safer spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, and peer-to-peer resource sharing. Our trained volunteers then help their fellow young people to be empowered through information-sharing and peer support. Whether you want to join an advisory board, help write articles on sex, consent, STI’s or mental health, or develop your public speaking skills, there is an opportunity for everyone!
Teen Health Source
TeenHealthSource.com is an award-winning resource that offers up to date and medically accurate sexual and reproductive health information, written by youth, for youth, as well as real time sexual health information support lines. If you’re aged 16-19 with an interest in researching and writing, helping your peers learn more about sexual health, or translating information into accessible formats like articles or video content, please consider applying!
Open to youth 16-19 years old.
Youth Futures Project’s Youth Advisory Committee
The Youth Futures Project is a new program/initiative for 2SLGBTQ+ leaders, artists, and advocates who are Black, Indigenous, or racialized. Through community-building workshops and skill-sharing resources, youth participants can learn more about themselves in solidarity with each other to plant the seeds and nourish their collective futures.
Open to youth who are 18-29 years old, and are 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC.
Peer Education
Peer Educators are in-clinic volunteers who provide support around birth control, sexually transmitted infections, pleasure, or pregnancy. Volunteers help create a supportive environment where individuals can discuss their health concerns openly. They also assist with administrative tasks and train new volunteers. You’ll receive comprehensive training to help your peers feel more empowered to make decisions about their bodies and their lives!
Open to youth 18 to 29 years old.
TEACH (Teens Educating and Confronting Homophobia)
TEACH trains youth 16-24 to co-facilitate workshops tackling homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and hetero-cissexism in schools and community settings. These workshops encourage critical thinking, challenge stereotypes, and empower youth to create accepting and inclusive spaces. If you’re looking to build your public speaking, facilitation, and teamwork skills, while inspiring change in schools, universities, and community settings across the GTA, this program is for you!
Open to youth 16-24 years old.
Health Promotion
Are you passionate about community outreach, and youth engagement, and health communications? Are you looking for a casual volunteer opportunity that will provide vital support to Planned Parenthood Toronto’s Health Promoters? We are looking for casual support at our health promotion workshops. Working alongside our community health promoters, you would help with:
- simplifying medical or unfamiliar language into lay terms for workshop participants
- supporting the workshop facilitator should small issues arise, and
- acting more generally as an important sidekick.
Open to youth 18-29 years.
