Drop In Sessions at Cambridge Women's Center

Founded in 1971, the Cambridge Women’s Center (CWC) is the oldest continuously running community center for women in the United States. The Cambridge Women's Center is open to anyone for whom woman is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. We offer a safe space for learning, emotional support, empathy, and empowerment through self-determination. Our understanding of the terms woman and feminism is intersectional, and we strive to create a community that is inclusive and actively working towards justice for Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, those with disabilities and/or mental illness, folks experiencing housing insecurity and other Powerful Groups (both national and international) targeted for oppression.

Please note: This volunteer opportunity is women-only. Please only sign up for this opportunity if you are someone whom woman is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. 

Volunteers will help set up food, supplies and other for Drop In Hours. Then at 1 pm, during Drop In Hours, volunteers will help to provide food, personal hygiene supplies, clothing and computer assistance. Volunteers can also engage with guests individually or in small groups. Gloves are required while handling food - masks are optional.

Volunteers who are bilingual in Haitian Creole, Spanish or Portuguese are encouraged to sign up!
