Current Volunteer Opportunities
Last updated 2019-11-05
We’ve listed the opportunities alphabetically by region (Bay Area, Fresno, Reno, and Sacramento).
TEEN SUCCESS HOLIDAY DONATION DRIVE
Every year, our volunteers lead a holiday gift drive for the teen moms who are part of PPMM’s Teen Success program, a support group for young women who are navigating adolescence and first-time parenting. These teens, who already had to grow up very fast, save every penny to buy holiday gifts for their babies. Can you lend a hand so these young moms, who often have to go without, can also feel special this season of giving?
We have Teen Success programs in four cities: Bakersfield, Fresno, Reno, and Sacramento. Follow this link for details on how to donate in each city and for the suggested donation list.

HCAP is our Health Center Advocacy Program, which was designed to connect our advocacy work with our health center services and patients. As an HCAP volunteer, you will be speaking with patients in the health center waiting rooms to share resources, inform them about our advocacy efforts, collect stories about how PPMM health care has improved their lives, and recruit supporters and volunteers.
HCAP provides our patients with opportunities to become advocates for themselves, their health, and their communities. Ideal HCAP volunteers are outgoing, solicitous, and committed to Planned Parenthood Mar Monte’s mission.
