Women's Empowerment Session 94

Volunteer Opportunities

Most workshops take place on a weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. We have each workshop four times a year with varying dates. The workshops take place at the Women’s Empowerment office. Sign-ups for each workshop are sent via email and are posted on the website before each session.


In program workshops, you will work directly with students and staff to build on and apply the skills learned in class to develop finished products that the women can add to their professional portfolios.


We can take 8-9 spots per workshop per group!

Every session, we conclude our job-seeking skills curriculum with Mock Interviews. Volunteers conduct mock job interviews so the women can apply what they've learned in class. The students "Dress for Success" and provide copies of their new resumes, ready to impress. It's a highlight of every session! Volunteers will interview the students individually and on panels and give feedback to help students evaluate their interviewing skills. Join us for this incredible experience of helping our students "rock the mock!" This Session is unique; we are adding a whole second day of Mock Interviews!! If you cannot make it one day, join us for round 2!
