"Hi Access! Here are the bus ticket receipts from helping out "Tracy" on Tuesday. I'm glad I was around and able to help. Don't hesitate to call me again... Thanks for all your hard work in providing compassion and understanding for women in need. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer."
-Abigail, Practical Support Volunteer

Join our Practical Support Network and help women obtain safe, quality abortion services without delay. Practical Support volunteers provide direct assistance - rides, overnight housing, child care, translation, etc. - to help women actually get to their appointment. If you ever needed help to make your own choices a reality, this is a great way to give back! We especially need people in San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno and San Jose who are available during the week to provide rides and/or housing.

Office Volunteers help to update our provider referral listings, work on advocacy projects, newsletter mailings, special events, data entry and more. For most projects you must be able to work from our office in Oakland during regular office hours, which are 10a.m. to 6p.m. Monday through Friday.
Join us for our Monthly Volunteer Night! Enjoy dinner and lively conversation about current reproductive health and rights issues with other Access supporters. Each month we will have specific projects to work on, such as stuffing newsletter mailings, calling donors, organizing the office, or working on special events. Join our email list to hear about the upcoming Volunteer Night!
All Access volunteers must support every woman's right to make her own reproductive decisions, be comfortable with abortion, and committed to social justice. Access is a peer-based, grassroots office and our staff and volunteers are diverse in race, ethnicity, age, income, education, sexuality, and life experiences.
