Volunteer

Our volunteers change the lives of young women every day.

View our Volunteer Calendar for in-person and virtual opportunities.

New volunteers can register to help.

We invite you to be part of this critical mission. We have many opportunities to share your time and talents.

  • Help keep our Transitional Living Centers (TLC) a fresh, welcoming home. Like any home our spaces need to be refreshed periodically with paint, window treatments, bedding and artwork.

  • Organize and run a collection drive in your school, workplace or community to provide items our young women need on their journey to self sufficiency. Click here for a list of our most needed items.

  • Provide much needed administrative support with tasks like data entry, filing, scanning or assisting with mailings. Tasks vary depending on current needs and the volunteer’s skills.

  • One-time needs may include a special project at one of our Transitional Living Center homes, packaging auction items for our Gala, setting up for the Gala, hand-addressing envelopes, preparing mailings and more.

Please contact Joy Adegbola to find out how you can change the lives of young women.
