Things You Can Do

Choice Action Team 
Start a Choice Action Team (CAT) in your community and become a leader on the issue of choice. As a Choice Action Team member, you will work on a variety of fun and meaningful pro-choice projects that actively support NPCO’s mission. CAT members agree to become regular, committed volunteers for a two-year period. The specific time commitment required is three to five hours per month, but that can include the CAT’s monthly meeting (usually between one and two hours).

 

 

Campus Choice Action Teams

If you're a college student wanting to get involved in engaging your campus community in the pro-choice movement, start a Campus Choice Action Team (C-CAT) at your school!
 
Internships

We offer internships throughout the year with with emphasis on EBC access, administrative assistance, community outreach, house party organizing, and political activism. Click here to see the full position descriptions.

 

Become a NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon Member 

Show your support for a woman's right to choose by becoming a member of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon. As a member, you will receive our newsletter as well as information about what is happening with choice in your area. If you are already a member, please consider recruiting a friend to become a member or donating to our other entities such as the Oregon Foundation for Reproductive Health or our Political Action Committee (PAC). After 4 hours of volunteering, you automatically become a member!

 

Unite and Write! Join our team of Reproductive Rights Writers  

Throughout the year we need volunteers to write letters to the editors about important issues that are happening with choice. Letters to the editors are easy and fun to write. We provide you with all the material you need to write a letter and information on where to send it. The best part is that you can see your name in the paper when it is published!
            

In-Office Activists

 

Pro-Choice Voter ID Phone Bank

Join us in identifying pro-choice voters so we can get pro-choice candidates elected in 2012.
Contact Caitlin Campbell to RSVP or for more information.
 
Mailings Make the Difference!

We need a little help from our friends.  We have several pieces of mail that we send out each week and your help will make all the difference.  If you have a Wednesday evening free come on in! We are labeling, stamping, stuffing, and making a difference in our community!

 

Data Entry, Data Entry, Data Entry!

Our petition season is ongoing. This means we have a HUGE need for data entry help all year. The best things about volunteering to help us with data entry are that the available times to help are very flexible AND you can come in for as much or as little time as you’d like. 

 

Join us to make EBC available in your community…. 

Did you know that a pharmacist in Oregon cannot refuse to dispense EBC to you without giving another option for dispensation? Help us make sure that EBC is available and that women are receiving accurate information about this essential medication. Click here for more information about the Emergency Birth Control Access Project, and be sure to check out the EBC Access Project Website!

 

Political Activists

Join us during the 2011 legislative session to ensure the candidates we’ve elected to protect reproductive rights are doing just that.

 

Event Volunteers and Event Planning Team 

Are you interested in reaching out to friends, neighbors, and families about Choice but you’re not into the big, fancy fundraiser? Help NPCO plan a field event that’s laid-back, fun, and creative. We can host movie nights at local pubs and theaters, BBQ’s, or even supper-clubs. The ideas are aplenty we’re just looking for a few special volunteers to get it off the ground.

 
Petitioning/Tabling at Events 
Do you like talking to people about why you are pro-choice?  We’re looking to extend our tabling season beyond the summer street fairs and we need awesome pro-choice activists to talk to people about the great things going on at NARAL, to hand out condoms, and to sell buttons and t-shirts. You won’t be alone, the more the merrier!
 
Host a House Party for Choice!
Throughout the year, pro-choice individuals can invite guests to their homes to participate in a personal discussion about Choice with NPCO staff and special speakers like state legislators and county commissioners. Guests can learn about reproductive rights issues in a comfortable and social setting. They can also become NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon members on the spot!
