Volunteer
Women's Opportunity Center began 30 years ago in a kitchen by women who wanted to make a difference. They first met as a support group for themselves but as more women were drawn in they began to organize and offer more concrete services. We have grown and changed over the years but still have the mission to make life better, one woman at a time.
Since our inception, volunteers have been the lifeblood of the Women's Opportunity Center, providing critical support to staff and offering up their special talents to the participants. Volunteers provide a range and depth of experience that help make our center so special. We couldn't do it without you. Volunteers are used in a wide range of areas, including:
- Helping at the front desk, answering phones and greeting participants
- Being a computer tutor or assisting during computer classes
- Organizing fundraisers, special events and clothing drives
- Helping at the Mary Durham Boutique, our training program
- Marketing and publicity
- Doing mock interviews
- Presenting a special workshop
What will you get?
- An internship experience to enhance your education program
- Experience that can add skills to your resume
- Networking connections
- Immense satisfaction from participating in something that is bigger than you
Whatever your special talent, we want to hear from you!
