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?

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.

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.
