The YWCA's many programs are made possible by a network of over 150 volunteers and countless generous donors. These volunteers serve in various capacities from assisting with special events to mentoring at-risk girls.        

If you are interested in donating time, talent, capital, or supplies to the YWCA, please contact us at 422-1191. A list of needed supplies and services can be found below.  You may also donate by clicking the button above.

The Domestic Violence Shelter needs volunteers to staff the Clothing Bank one day a week for a few hours, to inventory, sort clothes, and help clients choose items. Call Shelter Director Judy Thomas or e-mail jthomas@ywcaevansville.org.

The Live Y'ers program needs after-school assistants for grade school girls at the YWCA on a day of your choice from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. There are no special skills required--just the desire to help! New volunteers will always work with staff or seasoned volunteers. Mentors are also needed for middle school and high school girls for once-a-month lunches at the schools. If you are interested, please call Youth Program Director Courtney Edwards or e-mail cedwards@ywcaevansville.org.

Grounds Maintenance help is always needed and can be scheduled on the day and time of your choosing.  You can even make this volunteer work a family affair.  Call Karen Brandon or email ywca@ywcaevansville.org.
