The Abortion Services Coordinator at Jane’s Due Process (JDP) is responsible for providing one-on-one case management for teens seeking abortion and supporting JDP’s direct services program that centers young people who have been harmed by laws that require parental involvement for birth control and abortion. We believe the young people who are most impacted by these laws should be at the front of the fight for teens’ reproductive freedom.
Working with clinics in states with abortion access, JDP makes direct pledges to offset the cost of abortions for teens in need of receiving care outside of Texas and provides practical support for Texas teens seeking abortion care outside of the state. Practical support includes the often-unseen costs that push abortion access further out of reach for clients. This person will handle one-on-one case management for teens seeking abortion. JDP is committed to ensuring our Janes can fight for full reproductive freedom while also working towards educational goals, careers and life success.
The Abortion Services Coordinator is a full-time position. Connecting with youth may happen on evenings and weekends. JDP supports a 32-hour work week, flexible work hours, and comp time. The Abortion Services Coordinator reports to the Director of Reproductive Health and Education Services.
