VOLUNTEER
““If you are someone with a few hours to spare each week and would like to work with women, make a positive contribution to our community and have fun doing it, I have just the job for you: Volunteer at the Women’s Opportunity Center. I have been fortunate enough to be a volunteer here for the last year and a half and can honestly say that I have rarely had any experience that is as rewarding as this one. It’s a wonderful way to assist the women of our community.”
