Wanted: Compassionate Volunteers to Make a Difference in Women’s Lives

Our organization was founded by a volunteer, Jill Halverson, and our efforts among women experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless women have been defined by generations of extraordinary volunteers.

If you’re a compassionate activist looking for a way to get more involved in the Los Angeles community, you’ll be at home here. Our current corps of over 5,000 volunteers provide 25,000 hours of service annually, contributing to all facets of the critical work we do to support women in need throughout Los Angeles.         

Thank you for your longtime support of the Downtown Women’s Center and our mission of ending women's homelessness. We greatly appreciate how you have helped our community grow. For the health and safety of our participants, residents, staff, and volunteers, DWC is suspending all on-site volunteering at this time. To continue supporting us at this time, please consider assisting with our Snack Pack and Toiletry Kit needs. If you have any questions, please contact Volunteer@DowntownWomensCenter.org.
