ICAN! Community Action Team

Are you passionate about sexual and reproductive healthcare affordability and access? ICAN! is looking for Illinoisans to join our Community Action Team (CAT)!

 CAT members will play a vital role in activating their communities to destigmatize and normalize birth control as basic health care. This opportunity is open to anyone 16+ who currently resides in Illinois. We encourage volunteers to contribute as much or little time as they have.

*TRUER = Trauma-informed, Respectful, Unconscious bias aware, Evidence-based, and Reproductive well-being centered.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Amplify ICAN! Resources: table and flyer at community events and create social media posts to help inform your communities of their rights to birth control care + coverage.
  • Destigmatize Birth Control: capture and share birth control testimonials through blog posts and story-telling and teach others how to use their voice for change to normalize the conversation.
  • Improve Healthcare Seekers Experience: conduct monthly patient simulation or secret shopping calls that mimic real life scenarios to improve healthcare seekers experience when accessing contraceptive care.
  • Expand ICAN!’s Community Reach: through translation support and adjustment of pre-existing resources to better serve your communities.

What are you waiting for?! Join the movement to normalize birth control as basic health care!
