Womankind works with survivors of gender-based violence to rise above trauma and build a path to healing. We bring critical resources and deep cultural competency to help Asian communities find refuge, recovery, and renewal. We work with survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual violence across the lifespan. Womankind offers a 24/7 helpline, counseling and case management services for survivors and their children, emergency residential and transitional housing, immigration legal services, and other support services.

Womankind started as a volunteer effort 35 years ago, and volunteers have been and continue to be integral in all phases of our activities and operations. Volunteers staff Womankind’s helpline, accompany survivors to appointments, tutor and mentor children, provide administrative support, and much more.

The Volunteer Coordinator will play a critical role in coordinating Womankind’s rapidly growing volunteer engagement initiatives.
