Volunteer - The Period Purse

Volunteering for Change

Join us in breaking stigma and supporting access to products and education so everyone can manage their period with dignity.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are essential to building menstrual equity from coast to coast. Whether you’re passionate about community outreach, education, or supporting our work behind the scenes, you’ll find meaningful ways to contribute. Opportunities include helping at events, joining packing days, assisting with virtual Mini Drive outreach, and supporting menstrual health education and advocacy initiatives.

No matter how you choose to help, your time creates real impact. Explore our volunteer roles and join a movement that’s making periods more equitable for everyone.

1. Dymon Days

Join us in-person once a month at our Toronto packing facility to support essential product operations — from inventory and shipping to receiving donations and preparing supplies for community partners. Training is provided on-site.

2. Educational & Community Events

Help us share menstrual equity and period product education at tabling events and community gatherings like the National Women’s Show. Training and materials are provided so you’ll feel confident and supported.

3. Mini Drive Outreach & Research

Mini Drives help groups collect period products for people who need them most. Help us research potential hosts, send simple outreach emails using our templates, and track replies. You can choose to do research, outreach, or both — training and tools are provided. If you want to help expand Mini Drives in your community, we’d love to have you join us.

4. Menstrual Health Day & Community Action

Help shine a spotlight on menstrual equity across Canada. Join us and help secure municipal proclamations and monument lightings for Menstrual Health Day, research important menstrual equity trends, and make change in your community. We’ll walk you through the process step by step, answer questions, and support one another as we take collective action to raise awareness and visibility in our communities. This is a virtual volunteer opportunity.

“I volunteer with The Period Purse because I am moved by their commitment to de-stigmatizing menstrual health and to normalize the word ‘periods’! Volunteering with TPP allowed me to share my passion for advocating for women's rights (especially the right to openly discuss their health) with other women from all walks of life. From becoming a certified Education Ally, to tabling at events, TPP is the best space for those wanting to work towards menstrual equity!”
