VOLUNTEER SIGN UP
Volunteer sign ups for Session 94 are now open! 

You can sign up for opportunities by entering your information and selecting the opportunities you would like to participate in below.

You are welcome to sign up for as many opportunities as your schedule allows. Volunteers are added to the session roster in the order in which RSVPs are received (we also keep a small wait-list for each opportunity). If we are unable to accommodate your first choice, we will let you know and do our best to make sure you have an opportunity to volunteer. Many of these opportunities require a one-to-one student to volunteer ratio; if we have absences, or the class size changes, this may result in us not needing as many volunteers as scheduled. We will do our best to let you know with as much notice as possible about any cancellations. 

Please note that all volunteer opportunities will take place in-person.

Once you have signed up for an opportunity via this form, you are all set. We will reach out as soon as possible if there are any issues or changes to your sign up. 

Volunteers will receive a reminder email with all the information they will need a couple days prior to each opportunity. 
A Google RSVP will also be sent, Volunteers must confirm all opportunities with the Volunteer Manager. 

If you have any questions, feel free to email volunteers@womens-empowerment.org

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - Mock Interviews 
Every session, we conclude our job seeking skills curriculum with Mock Interviews. Volunteers conduct mock job interviews, so the women can apply what they've learned in class. The students "Dress for Success" and provide copies of their new resumes, ready to impress. It's a highlight of every session! Volunteers will interview the students individually and in panels, and will evaluate their interviewing skills. Join us for this incredible experience of helping our students "Rock the Mock!"

This Session is unique, we are adding a whole second day of Mock Interviews!! If you cannot make one day, join us for round 2!

  • January 19th, January 12th, 2024 - 4 pm - 5 pm (In Person)
The Student and Career Mentor relationships are so valuable and impactful for both our students and our volunteer mentors. Not only do mentors assist students as they hone their job readiness skills and materials, but mentors often help bolster students' confidence and courage as they venture into job applications, interviews, and employment. 

While in-person meetings are allowed, we have also adjusted the program to allow mentors/mentees to hold meetings via Zoom or phone call. 

We will be holding a Career Mentor Refresher prior to our virtual Mentor and Student Meet & Greet so we can review mentor guidelines, talk about how this session will work, and answer any questions mentors might have. Both the Mentor Refresher and Mentor and Student Meet & Greet will happen  at Women's Empowerment in person.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - Child Development Center 
  Volunteers to help staff our Child Development Center is always one of our greatest needs.

We typically ask volunteers to commit to [at least] one day per week between the hours of 8:30 am and 2:30 pm for the duration of the nine-week session. We also are looking for volunteers who are willing to be floaters and "on-call" for special circumstances. We can be flexible with hours. 

We accept volunteers ages 15 and older for this opportunity. Volunteers aged 18 and older are required to complete Livescan fingerprinting before beginning service. We provide support and training. 

We acknowledge that is this a big commitment; it is also one of our biggest positive impacts. 85% of the women who participate in our program are mothers. Our ability to provide them with childcare enables their success, and provides a healthy environment for these precious little ones to develop and thrive.  

A newer option would be to assist on Thursday from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm with our childcare for our Trellis Gardens Graduates. The Volunteer Manager will contact you for more details
