At the end of the project, volunteer will provide a list of any additions, deletions, or other changes that need to be made. Candidate should be detail-oriented and have computer skills. For volunteer positions in any of our health centers, volunteers must provide documentation of immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella, and must show proof of a physical exam within the past 12 months. Women who come to Planned Parenthood are accessing a full range of reproductive health services, yet the opposition treats most people entering the center as though they are seeking abortions. Clients are in varied emotional states as they approach the center, including feeling fearful, annoyed, confused, and anxious.
Escorts are beacons of reassurance within a sometimes hostile, zealous, and hate-filled environment.
Escort volunteers need to be reliable, committed to choice, and good communicators. They must be physically fit and able to spend three hours standing outside the centers during varied weather conditions. An ability to be restrained and professional in abusive and adverse conditions is essential since the opposition may be shouting racial epithets, chanting, praying, or holding up gruesome signs. Escorts are expected to serve at least one Saturday a month, of their choice. Volunteer will be performing clerical duties, such as copying, filing, and faxing.
