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.
