You are the heart of our work
Currently, volunteers are not permitted at our office, Day Center or Shelters because of the Stay Home order.
If you would like to know about volunteering at The Sophia Way, please join TSW101, our virtual event that is held on the third Tuesday of each month.
We recognize that our work would not be possible without the commitment of our volunteers. We are grateful to have so many people involved with The Sophia Way who donate more than 15,000 hours every year to support women experiencing homelessness.
Whether you choose to give an hour, a day or an entire year of volunteer service, we value your contribution immensely and appreciate that you are giving back to the community.
Ages 16 and over are welcome to volunteer at The Sophia Way. If you are younger than 16, you’ll need to bring along a parent or guardian when you volunteer.
