Expand the Impact of your Organizing!
We have a vision for a world where menstrual products are considered a basic necessity and are available in all bathrooms, just like toilet paper. That's why we're partnering with community organizations, schools, state agencies and local governments to distribute all kinds of free menstrual products.
Our goaI is not just to end period poverty and make period products free and available. Our goal is menstrual equity: we want people not just to have free products - but to have choice about what products they use. We want everyone to have menstruation education so they can make informed decisions about their menstrual health.
In 2022 we hired two educators to work with our partners to give menstrual health workshops and attend resource fairs. In 2023 we hired ten educators and launched a train the trainer program. In early 2024 we hired 6 Community Organizers to deepen our work in the following regions: Cape Cod & Islands, South Shore, South Coast, Greater Boston, Somerville and Worcester.
Now, we’re hiring again! 4 more Community Organizer positions are open for the following regions: South Coast (4), South Shore (1), and Boston (1).
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
