By volunteering at our reception desk for 2 hours a week, you will get the opportunity to be the first point of contact for women reaching out to WRC.
Our front-desk volunteers are so much more than 'someone who answers the phone.’ As part of the team, you will be trained on local resources and be empowered to provide immediate support to women in our community, as well be the front face of WRC for visiting clients.
Current desk openings are Monday 10am-12am, and 2pm-4pm; Tuesday 2pm-4pm; and every other Wednesday 2pm-pm.
