Why Does the YWCA of Adelaide have Volunteers?

Volunteering is an excellent way to acquire new skills, meet new people and make a contribution to our community. The YWCA of Adelaide believes volunteer participation can lead to a more democratic, caring, dynamic and cohesive community within our rapidly changing world.

Our volunteer program aims to:

• Make greater linkages with the community (especially women) through initiating, enhancing and extending existing programs and services at the YWCA.

• Create opportunities for women and the community to become empowered through the development and acquisition of new knowledge and skills.

• Create opportunities for personal development, by broadening and enriching life experiences through involvement in community projects.

• Increase the effectiveness and relevance of the organisation by reaching out into the community seeking feedback to steer the organisation into new directions for the future.
