WomenVenture - Get Involved with WomenVenture

We believe that volunteers want their involvement with WomenVenture to make a difference in the lives of the people we serve as well as in their own lives. Listed below are some examples of opportunities for fulfilling, enriching volunteer experiences that make a difference.

We work individually with each volunteer enabling us to design an experience which fits both our needs, and the needs of each volunteer, in terms of responsibilities and time spent by each volunteer. The following times listed are approximate and can be lengthened or shortened. Opportunities are available in the evenings unless indicated as daytime. WomenVenture Volunteer Orientations are held the third Thursday of every month, from 7:00-7:30 p.m. in Room 200. Orientation not held in summer months.
