Our Leadership Keep Informed YWCA Job Opportunities get involved - volunteer today! The YWCA of Cortland relies on the commitment of dedicated community volunteers to meet the needs of our clients and program participants. In fact, if it weren't for the support of volunteers - like you - some of our programs would not even exist. Stop by our front desk or fill out the volunteer form below, and we will call you. Volunteering at the YWCA has many benefits: friendship and camaraderie, helping the women of our community and their families, and strengthening the YWCA's commitment to our mission. The YWCA is always looking for volunteers we can count on to help us meet the needs of our clients and program participants. Our programs are varied - and many! We have Childcare programs, Bridges for Kids, Aid to Victims of Violence, Health and Fitness, annual events, and fundraisers. If you are more interested in determining the direction of the YWCA, please consider serving on a committee (descriptions follow below). We look forward to hearing from you soon. Someone from the YWCA will contact you once your form has been received. (Please note that because the YWCA does not staff a volunteer coordinator, it may be a couple of days before the appropriate staff member has the opportunity to respond).
