The Program is open to our clients and to everyone interested in working with immigrant women and families. Volunteers support our staff by performing general office duties, getting involved in challenging projects such as organizing small discussion groups for immigrant women, or teaching survival English classes, offering Income Tax Clinics and other initiatives useful to our clients.
Volunteers enjoy great flexibility in their working hours, are encouraged to participate in our free workshops on women's issues and in our Leadership Training Program.They can receive Certificates of Appreciation and Recognition. A letter of reference is provided to those who donated 20 volunteer hours a month for three months.

"I learned that the healing power is within us and we can use various spiritual tools like meditation, yoga, prayer to access that power."
" I learned that is not the person we are angry at but their actions which make us angry; anger is not bad, how we deal with it is important; how anger happens and how I can deal with it better."
