WANTED:
Compassionate volunteers eager to make a difference in women's lives
Our organization was founded by a volunteer, Jill Halverson, and our efforts have been defined by generations of extraordinary volunteers since 1978.
If you’re compassionate, consider yourself an activist, or are just looking for a way to get involved and give back to the Los Angeles community, you’ll be at home here. Our current corps of over 5,000 volunteers provide more than 30,000 hours of service annually and contribute to all facets of our work to support women in need. We truly could not do what we do without them!
