Thanks for your interest in volunteering with Chicago Abortion Fund.

Volunteers are one of our greatest resources! Your thoughtful responses will help us get to know you and how we may work together. Please provide social media and references so we can confirm your identity.

We seek to build and maintain a diverse and inclusive team with regard to race, culture, ethnicity, class, religion, physical ability, age, gender, and sexual orientation. As an organization working in solidarity with the reproductive justice movement, CAF is committed to fostering the leadership of people of color, Black people, indigenous people, immigrants, refugees, low income people, LGBQ+ people, trans people, women, people with disabilities, young parents, parents, people who were formerly incarcerated, people who have received funding for abortions, and people living in the many intersections of these experiences.

Due to a high volume of applications and limited staff capacity, we are unable to directly onboard every applicant. However, we will send out specific calls for volunteers to applicants from this form based on interests. Thank you so much for your understanding, and for your interest in volunteering with CAF!
