Upcoming Events
Volunteer Orientation
RRFP’s volunteer orientation is 1 hour, virtual, and pretty casual. Its purpose is to give you an understanding of who RRFP is, what we do, how we operate, and how to get involved.
If no orientations are currently scheduled we encourage you to follow us on social media and/or fill out the Volunteer Interest Form to stay in the loop!
Creating Reproductive Justice Leaders Training
Creating RJ Leaders (CRJL) is a 3 hour virtual training (with a 30 min break, interpretation available upon request) where we cover:
Defining Reproductive Justice (RJ)
Differences between Repro Rights, Repro Health, & RJ
RJ all around us!
RJ & RRFP Values Clarification
What Abortion is / isn’t
Who has abortions
How to talk about abortion
After attending the training we are hoping folks will feel confident in the framework that is Reproductive Justice, and begin to have a deeper understanding of how RJ relates to things in all of our lives. We also hope to demystify abortion and have you feeling more comfortable talking about abortion with those around you.
CRJL training is open for everyone, but is required for all volunteers who would like to do direct-client support. This includes abortion doula volunteers, practical support (transportation) volunteers, and intake (warmline) volunteers.
Abortion Doula Training
This is a VIRTUAL community based Doula training, hosted by an abortion fund. If you are not familiar with RRFP I encourage you to check out who we are prior to registering.
You will definitely learn marketable skills, however our intent is to expand access and normalize care for folks who have abortions. We do not believe folks require certifications, but accurate and relevant information. We do offer a certificate of completion for your records.
All proceeds for this training go toward the Richmond Doula Project.
Fee: Sliding Scale $25-$125 (free to RRFP & RDP members and volunteers)
Sample Training Schedule:
10am-2pm
Lunch
3pm-6:30pm
There is also an opportunity to connect again after the training for a role-play/question and answer, and check-in the weeks following the training. You will also receive access to a google drive that all the folks who have ever taken this training share access to.
**Because we use a sliding scale and donation based model, there are no options for refund. Registrations are transferable to other people, and to different dates.
What we cover:
Reproductive Justice 101
Barriers to access/Abortion in Virginia
Values Clarification
What happens during an abortion
Who has abortions
How to talk about abortions
Supporting someone having an abortion
Taking care of yourself
