Volunteering at the WRC: When asked "Why did you enjoy your volunteer experience at the WRC?" previous volunteers replied: “I really enjoyed getting to know women who are interested and passionate about the same things I am. The “W” is a positive and welcoming environment that has given me a better sense of community on such a large campus. Also, volunteering here allowed me the opportunity to become involved in other organizations/clubs and to take part in many outside activities” ---------- “At first I was unsure about volunteering here because I didn’t feel like I fit in with the girls. After getting to know everyone I felt so welcome and really enjoyed working with all the girls. My favorite part was opening up and meeting new people” ---------- “Getting involved in outreach on campus and the community. I liked how much more informed I feel about activist projects on campus” ---------- “The wonderful, energetic, and knowledgeable women both volunteers, staff and visitors” ---------- “The relationships that grew out of the center and the connections the W helped me make with other students and/or clubs and organizations on campus. I’ve met some pretty amazing people” ---------- “ I learned that I could do more than I thought I was capable of. I learned a lot about language and how that effects different diverse groups on campus” ---------- “ I always learn new stuff.. especially about how to move my ideas into action.” ---------- “I learned about commitment, passion, and love from people who care to make this world a better place. Also, a reassuring and positive outlook on activist work” ---------- “I learned more about organizing events, more about being a disability ally, and more about activism in performance” ---------- “Most importantly, I learned that my actions are extremely important. Even though I’m one person, the way I act and respond to things around me can produce change in others, action goes hand in hand with activism.” ---------- “I learned about everyday ways to effect social change” ---------- “I learned how many different forms activism can take, ways to gain strength from others, found a lot of great books, magazines etc. that I otherwise wouldn’t have known about” ---------- To apply to be a volunteer for the Fall 2008 semester, fill out an application (includes full job description) and return it to us in UMC 416 by September 17th. Volunteer training will take place on September 20th and 21st. For more information, contact Natalie.Ziemba@colorado.edu or at 303.492.1205.
