Are you passionate about creating meaningful change in your community? At OCTEVAW, our volunteers play a vital role in advancing our mission to end gender-based violence and create safer, more equitable spaces for all. 

We believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute. Whether it’s your time, skills, lived experiences, or passion for social change, we welcome individuals from all walks of life to join us in this important work. 

Why Volunteer with OCTEVAW?

Learn and Grow: Gain insights into intersectional feminism, anti-oppressive practices, and systems change while building your own skills. 

Foster Belonging: Become part of a community that values collaboration, diversity, and the unique perspectives that each individual brings. 

Make a Difference: Your contributions will directly support our work in prevention, public education, and advocacy for survivors. 

What We’re Looking For 

We’re always on the lookout for compassionate, committed individuals who share our values of intersectional feminism, anti-racism, and anti-oppression. We value equity-deserving voices and encourage applications from individuals of all abilities, genders, backgrounds, and experiences. 

No matter your skill set or level of experience, there’s a place for you here. Volunteers can contribute in many ways, such as: 

  • Supporting community events and campaigns 

  • Assisting with public education and movement-building initiatives 

  • Contributing to operational needs like fundraising, governance, or outreach 

Whether you have just a few hours to give or are looking for a long-term opportunity, we can find the right fit for you. 

 Together, We Can Make a Difference 

Volunteering with OCTEVAW isn’t just about giving your time—it’s about becoming part of a community that is committed to meaningful, systemic change. We value transparency in our work and are committed to equipping our volunteers with the knowledge and support they need to succeed. 

 If you’re ready to help create a violence-free future, we’d love to hear from you.
