Megan

Volunteering has been a great experience for me. When I volunteered, I didn’t think I had anything of value to contribute. However, I am able to do something that helps the organization run just a little bit smoother, which helps others do their jobs a little bit better, which helps MWEG accomplish its mission. No matter what you feel you bring to the table, there is always something you can do.

Laura

Everybody is busy. The great thing about MWEG volunteering is that time commitments can be minimal and can often be completed on your schedule. The best part for me is that the work I do is rewarding and has given me valuable relationships with a delightful team of women.

Kira

Volunteering with MWEG has allowed me to jump right in rather than waiting for the right moment, cause, or when I ‘know enough.’ It allows me to learn from others as we work through issues together with layers of scaffolding and support.

MWEG works to ensure volunteers are trained, supervised, and supported so they can be successful and productive in their work as well as ensure that the relationship is beneficial to both the volunteer and organization. MWEG volunteers will go through an informal interview process and are required to participate in up to two hours of initial orientation and training. It is expected that volunteers will maintain consistent communication with their volunteer supervisor about their ability to volunteer on a regular basis. Volunteers serve under the discretion of MWEG's executive directors. No volunteer position is guaranteed.
