January 16 is Martin Luther King day, a day to both honor the fight for racial justice and focus on building strong communities. MLK holiday has become an opportunity all across the country to highlight service to the community and put the spotlight on volunteers. Although the YWCA will be closed in observance of MLK day, we offer several volunteer opportunities for those who would like to get involved.

At the YWCA of Asheville, we eliminate racism and empower women by providing programs and advocacy for over 3,000 community members annually in Western North Carolina with services that support families, promote holistic wellness, and advance racial justice.

Thank you for wanting to share your time and talents with the YWCA! As a volunteer, you are integral to the YWCA fulfilling our mission, and we simply couldn’t do it without your help and support.

YWCA Asheville has volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups. We can design volunteer assignments to fit your schedule, experience, and team-building goals.
