Greetings,

 

I would like to introduce myself as your new Community Outreach Coordinator. I am extremely excited to join Planned Parenthood of the Texas Capital Region, and I look forward to meeting and working with all of you.

 

As I familiarize myself with this new position, I wanted to share with you a list of our upcoming volunteer events and opportunities. Our volunteers are crucial to our success, so please let me know if you are interested in any of these opportunities to promote our efforts. Thank you in advance!
