Planned Parenthood Illinois Action Future of Choice Committee

With Future of Choice, there’s the opportunity to be a committee leader or run for an executive board position. You can launch your advocacy ideas with resources and support from Planned Parenthood Illinois Action. You can socialize with PPIA leadership, learn about public policy from our Springfield sponsor, and rub elbows with elected officials. You will also expand your social circle and learn from a network of folks who pay attention to what’s going on in the world. You would have lots of opportunity to shape our group’s direction.

In return, we’re looking for driven and motivated people who can bring diversity of thought and experiences.

Members must be able to attend 75% of our monthly meetings in person or over the phone. Members are also required to attend 2 advocacy, 2 electoral, and 1 fundraising event per year. Finally, members set their own personally significant yearly commitments for donations and hours volunteered based on what makes sense for them. We don’t want membership to be financially prohibitive so we don’t have a minimum financial commitment.

Young people from all walks of life and backgrounds who care about Planned Parenthood’s mission.

We are looking for people who are passionate about reproductive health advancing Planned Parenthood Illinois Action’s mission. We are also looking for people who have a background in fundraising, public policy, or campaign experience. Individuals who are social media savvy, creative, or enthusiastic would also make a great addition to our group. If you haven’t had these experiences but are interested in learning, we would love to have you involved too.

We are involved in really making a difference in our communities. Our fight goes beyond healthcare, we have extended our advocacy work to focus on key issues like fighting against the Trump-Pence administration's harmful immigration policies. We've had great fundraising success too, in 2018 we raised over $10,000 for PPIA.
