Volunteering

Individual Volunteers

Individual volunteers help support our staff, advocates and organization! We have two types of volunteer opportunities available for individuals. Indirect Service volunteers help maintain our organization with administrative and logistical support, while Direct Service volunteers help by working directly with clients and programming staff. Both require an interview and a background check. All volunteers must be over the age of 18.

    To start the process of becoming a volunteer, you must complete our online application. Once we have reviewed your application, our Volunteer Coordinator, Alex, will reach out to you with the next steps. If you have any questions, please contact Alex by email at alexandral@twcwaukesha.org or by phone at 262.522.3845.

    Please Note: We often receive several applications for a single position, so a completed application does not guarantee a spot. The Women’s Center does not offer court-ordered community service opportunities.
