How to Help The Women's Center

 



Volunteer

During the current era over half of the American population regularly becomes involved in some sort of volunteer activity during the course of the year. This amounts to over 100 million people donating time in excess of 19 billion hours a year, valued at over $150 billion per year.

The Women’s Center seeks volunteers from all age groups, educational backgrounds, income levels, genders, and types of employment to provide diverse services from interacting with infants to sorting clothing in the clothing closet to assisting with fundraising events and serving on the Board of Directors offering both short and long term assignments. What are your interests?

Board of Directors

The Women’s Center of Greater Cleveland is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board is legally and morally responsible for the work and direction of the organization. Each individual Director can and does make a vital contribution to the growth and development of the Women’s Center.

Internships

Internships allow students to acquire marketable skills and experiences, explore career options, network in their chosen career field, and gain invaluable knowledge of the working world. Available internships include:

§ Counseling under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

 Workplace Giving

Annual workplace charitable giving campaigns provide an opportunity for employees to be involved in a major workplace activity, working side-by-side with management. The Women’s Center is one of the 35 member organizations of Greater Cleveland Community Shares.

Community Shares' member agencies are joined by a common mission: to address the root causes of social problems facing our neighborhoods, our community, and our region. Community Shares agencies provide education, promote health care, protect children and women, advance home ownership, train workers and find employment, build neighborhoods, and work to end discrimination. Community Shares philosophy of change is based on education, advocacy and empowerment. Through payroll deduction a portion or all of a donor’s contribution can be designated to the Women’s Center.

If your workplace administers a United Way campaign, the Women’s Center’s name can be written on the designation form to receive your workplace contribution.
