Volunteer Opportunities  

The SCWF relies very heavily on our volunteers.  We have some volunteers who come into the office regularly to help with clerical work.  We also have special events throughout the year when we need extra help from volunteers.  You can find out about our volunteer needs through this website, and also through email notifications.  To receive notifications by email, send your name and zip code to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
