🌟 Join Our Team as a Hybrid Meeting Facilitator Volunteer! 🌟
Are you tech-savvy, compassionate, and looking for meaningful volunteer/nonprofit experience?
We are a central Tacoma-based nonprofit women’s center providing long term individual advocacy, support groups, leadership development, emergency financial assistance, and holistic programs open to transgender and cisgender women, non-binary individuals, and gender non-conforming people comfortable in women's spaces.
Our work is firmly rooted in inclusivity and dismantling bias; we promote anti-oppression values, and are a bilingual organization with programs available in Spanish and English.
Many of our clients are navigating trauma, poverty, violence, loss, illness, and immigration issues, and we are committed to supporting those who face social, political, and economic barriers. All services at Catherine Place are offered by donation; no one is turned away due to inability to pay.
If these values align with you, we'd love to connect!
