Who are our Volunteers?
Our volunteers are:
• People who want
to actively participate in supporting women, girls &
their families
• People who are non-judgmental
and accepting
• People who respect a diverse
work environment
How much time would I be expected
to volunteer?
That depends on you, your availability
and type of volunteer assistance you perform. We recognize
that there may be some weeks or months you are able to help
more than others. Whatever your schedule, your help at CWEALF
is valued.
How will I know what to do as
a volunteer?
Through the program coordinator, you will
be introduced to CWEALF and its staff and services before
you begin your volunteer work. If specialized training is
needed before you begin, our staff will ensure that you receive
the necessary support.
What type of work do volunteers
do?
There are many ways you can help CWEALF
make a difference!
One of our core programs, Information
& Referral (I&R), utilizes volunteers interested in
more "hands-on" work with the community. Volunteers
help answer the I&R line providing callers with legal
information and support, and respond to questions we receive
through our web site. Volunteers receive in-depth training
and are asked to commit to at least six months of service.
Depending on your interests and skills and the projects available
at CWEALF, there are opportunities to help with office and
administrative duties, fundraising, community outreach and
much more.
