Volunteers

Who are the volunteers of WHBW? Who would choose to give up their Saturday morning to answer crisis calls or help diaper a fussy infant? They are mothers, grandmothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, lawyers, teachers, artists, students and survivors. They are community women and men helping community women. They are the roots of the domestic violence movement. They are the roots of Women Helping Battered Women.

WHBW depends on volunteers to keep all of our services and programs running smoothly and consistently. If you have time and energy to give, can make a commitment, and want to get involved in real social change, please contact us at whbw@whbw.org or (802)658-3131 ext 1076 -- or download ourvolunteer application packet and follow the instructions on the form. Our volunteer opportunities vary and range from working directly with women and children to working "behind the scenes." However, at this time, WHBW would benefit primarily from administrative help.

If you have particular skills in other areas that you think could benefit WHBW, please contact us. Bilingual individuals, people with disabilities, deaf women, women of color, lesbian and formerly battered women are especially encouraged to volunteer.

Thank you for wanting to be part of our community and help to end domestic violence!
