Women’s Initiative is seeking volunteers and leadership in our new regions: New York and Chicago
If you are interested, please submit your application here and we will be in touch with opportunities as they arise in each region.

Women’s Initiative engaged volunteers at every level of the organization, using their interests and experiences to support local women entrepreneurs.
What can you do?
You can become:
A volunteer supporting work in and out of our offices, supporting any and every level of the agency;
A business connector, sharing your expertise and professional experience with our clients;
A fellowor intern, dedicating 10-15 weeks to Women’s Initiative on projects of interest with our staff;
A member of our leadership team, joining our boards in any of the regions we serve.
What does the volunteer program look like?
In 2011, our volunteers contributed just under 20,000 hours of service – the equivalent of more than 9 full-time employees. Every member of Women’s Initiative’s staff works with volunteers, and we estimate volunteers drive and direct approximately one-third of the agency’s work each year.
As a volunteer, you can get involved at every level of the organization:
With our clients: in our classroom, following up with graduates, outreach to new clients, or as a keynote speaker at a client-centered event;
With our administrative team: working on our databases (Raiser’s Edge), doing general office work, supporting our marketing and communications, and supporting our volunteer program;
At our events: attending our networking events, special events, and regional events (or by joining the planning teams!)
Online: support our website, creating videos, and providing photography skills.
