Students/Student Groups

We welcome young people’s involvement in supporting survivors and our programs, and are happy to provide resources, information, and collaboration for:

Donation Drives 

Hosting a donation drive is a great way to provide tangible items that EWP can use to stock our shelter, offer replacement bedding or clothing for sexual assault or sex trafficking victims, and give families a comforting and home-like atmosphere when entering shelter. We encourage all drive organizers to contact [email protected] to learn which items are most needed.

    Volunteer Projects

    Individuals and groups can offer hands-on help with gardening, building improvement, or awareness event projects that beautify the spaces that serve our clients, or that bring information, resources, and awareness to our community. Please contact [email protected] to learn where your talents can make an impact.

    Youth Advocates Program 

    Each year during the month of February, Every Woman’s Place provides support to the community, training to volunteers, schools, churches and organizations and educational events to increase awareness of teen dating violence.

    We don’t stop there, though. Our efforts to end domestic violence start with educating youth about healthy relationships. EWP is creating an EWP Youth Advocates program that will engage young people as advocates for the safety, well-being, and health of their peers. EWP Youth Advocates:

    • serve as ambassadors in area schools
    • become a voice for youth survivors
    • build and strengthen leadership skills
