About the 1973 Project
The 1973 Project is a community health initiative by I’ll Have What She’s Having (IHWSH) that aims to ensure comprehensive reproductive health care access for food and beverage workers in Houston, Texas. Recognizing the knowledge deficit around safe abortion, IHWSH created a program: Girl Talk, or in-person, public roundtables on self-managed abortion (SMA) resources. To scale impact, IHWSH is seeking 3-4 part-time educators to expand the Project by facilitating Girl Talk sessions and implementing outreach strategy.
Girl Talk Educator Role
Girl Talk Educators organize and oversee bimonthly conversations with 8-12 Houstonians. Educators deliver an existing curriculum on self-managed abortion resources and support networks, and answer questions that come up in the session. Educators are expected to assist with outreach for the 1973 Project by planning community-building initiatives, social media content, and events.
This role is for one year. No pre-existing knowledge about SMA is required, only a passion for abortion access, people skills, and a willingness to learn.
