Become a Planned Parenthood Ambassador - sign up for a training!
Sign up for an upcoming virtual training here, then a staff member will be in touch with next steps
Sign up to join Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's team of Ambassador volunteers! Ambassadors are a team of on-call volunteers that support PPMM's work through advocacy, outreach, projects, and other activities that advance PPMM’s mission.
Ambassadors are also given tools and resources to take action in their own communities and on their own time. There will be virtual and in-person activities, and opportunities will vary - some months there might be multiple actions, and some months might be slower.
Ambassadors will support PPMM as well as PP Advocates Mar Monte (PPMM’s electoral sister organization) with non-electoral and electoral work, like canvassing and phone banking.
Join a Planned Parenthood-Affiliated Campus Club

Publicly Share Your Story
Your story can make a difference. Whether it's affordable birth control or the right to safe and legal abortion, tell us why these services matter to you. We like to uplift a broad range of stories and perspectives to help show lawmakers, the media, and supporters just what we're fighting and advocating for.
COMPLETE THE SHARE YOUR STORY FORM HERE
We have already heard from volunteer story-tellers throughout our service region whose willingness to share their experience is really inspiring!
