“The impact of participating in a Sister-Corps project is tremendous. The experience is life-changing.” Barbara B. 2022

Who can volunteer?

If you are a female over 21 years of age, with reasonably good health, deep desire to help others, and a willingness to learn and to be a part of a team you are welcome to sign up as a volunteer.

Why volunteer?

We realize that not everyone is able to volunteer due to family or job demands, or her own physical limitations. However, if you let us, we can show you many ways to help even with limited skills, stamina, personal finances or time.

The virtually unanimous response from first time volunteers, is they can hardly wait to do the next one. Our returning volunteer rate is very good.

“The thought, the love ,and the kindness will always be remembered and shared… long after you have returned to your homes. “ Cathie, 2019

Here are just some of the benefits:

To be up close to someone who has gone through devastation—to hear their stories- to be a part of helping them back n their feet— it feeds my soul”” Joan J 2022

Giving Back to the Community or humankind and building community with others
Building personal skills-

“Sometimes women say they don’t have any skills. I say, “Not so. I say, you just come on and be willing to learn and we will teach you the rest.” Darlene, 2023

Sisterhood—nothing in the world can compare to the bonds made in sisterhood and forged over a hard job well done!

“I am truly inspired and motivated by women I see doing such important work in Sister-Corps.” Pat 2023
