Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you’re interested in this opportunity:

What are you passionate/fired-up about?

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) covers things like birth control, pregnancy, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), gender, sexuality, puberty, relationships, sexual pleasure, body image, and more. So, with that in mind, can you please tell us about any volunteer, paid work, or activist experiences you have that relates to SRHR:

Do you have any experience with STIs?

Yes

Maybe

Would rather not say

What kinds of skills and experiences would you bring to the board?

Volunteering with the NYAB is a 2-3 year commitment. Is there anything that you can think of that would get in the way of participating for the full term?

Recognizing that the personal is always political, can you tell us a bit about how who you are and your life experiences impact the ways that you see the world and what issues you are passionate about?
