Pick up a volunteer office shift

Work one or two four hour shifts per week supporting our mission.  Meet others, build community, gain skills.

Become a day-of volunteer

Get on our contact list, and get updates when we need a crew to make our fabulous events get off the ground!

Watch the listserv and our News section for calls for volunteers.

Mentor women coming back to school

The Returning Women’s Program offers one on one mentoring for our students, and we need committed volunteers to help others succeed in school.

Apply and interview with our Returning Women Students Coordinator, and be able to make at least a one quarter commitment.

Plan our fabulous events

It is student volunteers that make the Vagina Monologues, Portland International Women’s Day, Take Back the Night, and our other events possible.  Use and develop those people and organizing skills and be on a committee.

Watch the listserv and our News section for calls for coordinators.

Be a Feminist Leader

Students who work with us in the office, on committees, and take our classes are often recruited for leadership roles such as advisory board, chairing committees, and research projects.

Get involved, show us what a rock star you are, and we will put you to work on great projects!
