Volunteering
There's a challenge waiting for you. AFFW's volunteer opportunities range from short-term projects to longer-term committee memberships.
Want to get your friends or colleagues involved? No problem! We'll make the arrangements for community service projects—it's something we do all time. In fact, we take pride in matching volunteers with opportunities that will interest and challenge them.
Make a difference for the girls and women in our community. AFFW will help make it happen and meet your schedule and interests, too.
