Planned Parenthood NL Centre Volunteer.

Volunteers are the heart of the non-profit community here at Planned Parenthood-NLSHC. Your vital contribution will help make it possible for us to run our programs, clinic, education programs, and provide the much needed support to individuals in our community.

We have a skilled and committed staff team who are ready and willing to engage you in discovering the best volunteer role for you.

We are now accepting applications for volunteers at the centre! Applications are open until August 28th, 2026 and training will be held the weekend of September 19th and 20th, 2026.

We are seeking volunteer operators for this phone/text line to provide peer support services to callers.

- You do not have to be “out”.
- We appreciate allies but this position is not suitable for those who are not 2SLGBTQIA+.

Land Acknowledgement

St. John’s is home to a rich, diverse, and vibrant urban Indigenous community. Located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Beothuk, the lands and waters in and around the City have traditionally served as a gathering place for the Mi’kmaq. The broader region of Newfoundland and Labrador continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. We honour and pay respect to the past, present, and future caretakers of these territories.

Thank you to First Light NL for this acknowledgment.

Labour Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Canada and its colonies, including the Newfoundland and Labrador shipbuilding and cod fishery industries, are built on the brutality of forced and unpaid labour willfully extracted from people of African descent and their relations through trans-Atlantic enslavement. We honour the spirits of those who were taken from their homes and perished during the Middle Passage, those who made it and continued to fight for Black liberation in various ways and those yet to be fertilized.  We recognize that the systems of colonization and enslavement remains embedded in the Canadian fabric and results in ongoing anti-Black violence and carnage, including lack of safety, capitalism, exploitation, and death, in Black communities and families.

Thank you Dr. Delores Mullings for the gift of these words.
