Become an AWP Volunteer!
Volunteers are indispensable parts of A Woman's Place (AWP), as part of our organization, work, and success!

All volunteers must complete AWP's six-hour CORE training. This introductory training focuses on AWP's projects and programs and domestic violence issues, with a special focus on Bucks County and preparing participants to successfully communicate about AWP and domestic violence in their lives and in the community. Once completed, CORE Volunteers fill many roles at AWP, including administrative assistance, working on special events, and participating in community outreach and education.

Direct Service volunteer trainings also are held throughout the year. This 40-hour training prepares volunteers to work directly with AWP's clients in a specialized area.
After completing the Direct Service training, volunteers answer AWP's Hotline before moving on to a different area of direct service volunteer work, including First Response Team, Legal Advocacy, Prevention Education, and Support Groups. Additional training or observation time may be required for some volunteer positions.

Check our Upcoming Events page for updated dates, times, and information on upcoming CORE and Direct Service trainings.

For more information on volunteer opportunities, contact Ariella Zemach-Bersin by email or call 215.343.9241 ext. 109.
