Volunteer Opportunities
Preterm volunteers typically help our organization by tabling at outreach events like Pride, distributing educational and promotional materials around the communities, and helping with donor stewardship. Occasionally, we also have volunteers assist with aftercare packages for our patients.

All volunteers must attend an orientation before being added to the volunteer program. There is no minimum participation requirement as of right now, and all communication happens via email.
Patients to Advocates Fellowship
If you have had an abortion and would like to get involved in the movement for abortion access and reproductive health, rights, and justice, you might be a great candidate for the Patients to Advocates fellowship program.
Patients to Advocates is a paid, year-long leadership development program that prepares people who have had abortions for civic engagement around reproductive health, rights, and justice. The program was created as a collaboration among Abortion Forward, New Voices for Reproductive Justice, Faith Choice Ohio, and us at Preterm.
Fellows participate in educational modules and utilize their knowledge in legislative visits, door-to-door canvassing, panel discussions, and media interactions. Each cohort is comprised of people who have had abortions from various racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. Fellows have been featured in national and local media outlets, including Fusion, the Huffington Post, and Vice.​
