Join AWBW for our Volunteer Day on the third Saturday of each month to support our programs and fundraising events. Our group gathers at our Venice studios to complete a variety of tasks that can include prepping mailings, art supply sorting, project organization and decorating envelopes. Volunteers are welcome to attend Volunteer Day as their schedule permits. Lunch is provided by AWBW. Come and meet other AWBW volunteers with the same passion for our healing art programs!
Interested in volunteering as a group? Arrange to attend Volunteer Day with your co-workers, classmates, or service club members. Please note that due to space limitations, we can only accommodate a group of 20 or less.
While our volunteers do not work directly with survivors, their ongoing support is vital to the sustainability of our programs. In 2015, 50 volunteers donated 315 hours at AWBW’s Volunteer Saturdays.

About A Window Between Worlds (AWBW)
Location:
710 4th Avenue #5, Venice, CA 90291, US
Mission Statement
To empower individuals and communities impacted by violence and trauma through a transformative healing arts program.
Description
Seven out of 10 people experience some form of trauma in their lifetimes, and the A Window Between Words (AWBW) arts program is a powerful way to process and cope with these experiences. Creating art can be a catalyst to release trauma, build resilience and ignite social change. It allows for self-expression without the need for words, and often participants gain insights into their lives during AWBW workshops, as well as find new ways to communicate and connect with themselves and others. Since its founding in 1991, more than a quarter million adults and children have participated in AWBW art workshops. To provide these workshops to the community, AWBW collaborates with over 200 shelters, outreach centers, schools and other organizations across the country.
