The YWCA of Clark County will be holding its Spring Training Cycle for volunteers. The volunteer and orientation session will be on Tuesday, April 13, 1999, 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., in the Community Room at the YWCA on Main Street.
Several YWCA programs will offer free follow-up training in April and May. Most of the sessions are held weekday evenings.
The YWCA offers a variety of programs to volunteer in. Currently volunteers are needed in the Sexual Assault Program and the CASA program (Court-Appointed Special Advocate). The YWCA also needs volunteers to provide advocacy and support for victims of domestic violence, to work with children and teens, and to visit incarcerated women in the Clark County Jail.
The Y is need of committee members to help with fund raising opportunities, special events, promoting diversity in the community, and the continued effort to keep the agency running smoothly.
This may be an opportunity for Temporary Assistance To Needy Families (TANF) formally Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients to satisfy their 20 hours of volunteer/work time a week requirement. The YWCA also offers child care for children five and under for a fee.
