We need volunteers

We have almost 300 members and we are constantly looking for ways to provide fun and educational events to our members and supporters and to grow our organization. However we can’t do this without amazing volunteers to support us and our initiatives.

Volunteering with WCA is a great way to get to know the organization better, make long-lasting connections with members and supporters and add skills to your resume. Our volunteer needs range from a single task that can be done in a day, to a couple of hours a month, to year-long leadership of one of our many programs. Some can be done from your desk and others will get you out of the office for a while. And you don’t have to be a current member to volunteer with WCA.
