Careers

Planned Parenthood Ottawa empowers, supports, and advocates alongside individuals seeking sexual and reproductive health care, including abortions. Through inclusive sexual health education, system navigation, and compassionate counselling, we ensure that everyone feels supported, respected, and informed as they navigate their health, relationships, sexuality, and gender identity. We are a proud employer of unionized workers from COPE Local 225 with a strong equity-lens, and a culture of care and collaboration.

Volunteering

Our organization works with a charitable bingo hall which raises funds that allow us to provide our essential services to our community. We occasionally call upon these volunteers to help us organize and hand out safer sex supplies at community events. If you have some day time availability on Wednesdays and have a passion for ensuring comprehensive sexual health education in our community, this could be the volunteer role for you!

We recruit our general volunteers bi-annually, and will post on our social media when we are recruiting with details on how to apply!

Follow our social media to stay up to date on when we will be recruiting.
