Volunteer with WPA
Volunteer with us and make an impact!
Founded in 1845, the Women’s Prison Association (WPA) is the nation’s first organization dedicated to supporting systems-impacted women and gender-diverse individuals before, during, and after incarceration. We provide the help they need to live safe, free, and independent lives within their communities. Join our on-the-ground efforts in New York City and make a difference.
Volunteer Opportunities
Get involved by volunteering at WPA’s community-based events or by leading classes for justice-impacted individuals. We love collaborating with professionals and organizations who can support our clients with their expertise and lead skill-based programming, such as writing workshops, cooking classes, family activities, and women’s empowerment events.
