The CoverContraceptiON Campaign team began as a group of Ob/Gyn residents and staff from University of Toronto and McMaster University. We have now expanded to a multidisciplinary team of over 40 volunteers from across Ontario with diverse lived experiences and areas of expertise. Together, we are lobbying the Ontario provincial government to implement no-cost contraception coverage for all.
We are looking to bring in additional volunteers who can provide our campaign with more varied expertise, including in any of the following areas:
- Research Lead - l
eading a team of volunteers and organizing regular meetings, identifying areas for research, conducting literature reviews and research projects, publishing on topics related to contraception access in Ontario and beyond- Advocacy Team Volunteer - engaging with City Officials and Members of Provincial Parliament, planning overall advocacy strategies, facilitating policy development, and pursuing political lobbying
- Research Team Volunteer - help identify areas for research, help fill literature gaps, and perform literature reviews
- Communications Team Volunteer - potential roles include social media account maintenance, infographics, overall design needs, liaising with media, writing press releases and op-eds, developing news article publications, and contacting media outlets & reporters to help gain coverage for the campaign

We are looking for people from diverse backgrounds, so we strongly encourage those who are not involved in healthcare to apply too! Time commitment will depend on the extent of involvement you wish to have and the role that you choose to take on.
