Our mission

The Cambridge Women’s Center is a physical and digital community space open to anyone for whom woman is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. We offer a safe space for learning, emotional support, empathy, and empowerment through self-determination.
Opportunities

Direct Service Drop-in & Helpline volunteers

We offer supplies, T-passes, food, and resources at our front door, and can accommodate six people at a time inside or in our outdoor patio to use a computer, charge devices, print documents, and speak with a volunteer. Volunteers set up and break down before and after each shift, coordinate food deliveries and distribution, offer emotional support, resource referrals, and advocacy, clean, organize, and maintain the space, and ensure that support is offered with dignity and respect to all members of our community.
