Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the YWCA Clark County.

The success of the YWCA Clark County rests in the strength and energy of its dedicated volunteers who contribute both time and talent to the organization. YWCA volunteers engage in all types of activities. Program volunteers work with homeless children, youth aging out of foster care, female inmates, and victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse and neglect. Other volunteers support administrative needs, special events, marketing, and fundraising.

Please visit our page with current information about volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in volunteering after reading this information, please print out and complete the Application for Volunteer Service (MS Word) and mail it to the YWCA. It is especially important that you complete the section asking for reference names and addresses. We also welcome you to attend one of our quarterly Introduction to Volunteer Services sessions to learn more about our programs.

The State of Washington requires a criminal background search on all our staff and program volunteers. Please complete the Washington State Patrol Criminal History Form, which is included as part of the volunteer application.

Once your application is received, your references and criminal history will be checked. Training is the next step and is offered three times a year. You will also have an interview with YWCA staff, usually the director or coordinator of the program in which you are interested. Depending on the program, this interview may be scheduled before, during, or after training.

If you have any questions or would like to check on the status of your application, please feel free to call me at 360-696-0167 or contact me via email at aflory@ywcaclarkcounty.org.

Sincerely,
Al Flory
Director of Volunteer Development
