As a volunteer, it is amazing to know how important my role is to this organization. They respect my time, my needs, my resources that I bring to the table, and the fact that I have knowledge outside of my area of employment. You are treated with respect, not left to file hundreds of papers or enter countless data into a database, you are doing work that furthers the mission of the organization. That makes me feel good.

I have been a board member for 3 years and a volunteer for many more. The depth and breadth of projects on behalf of women, children and families is immense. I am actively involved in Kids Community Closet where new clothing is provided for children in several schools where the poverty level is substantial. In addition, we continue to advocate/legislate for social justice issues that positively effect those who cannot effectivley speak for themselves.

I've been volunteering with NCJW - St. Louis Section for over 10 years. This organization not only does great things for the community, but it also really values its volunteers. Volunteers really are the heart of the organization, making all of the programs happen. One of the things I really like is that there are so many different programs and roles needed, that when you are ready for a new challenge, there are plenty of things you can do without having to seek out a new non-profit. Recently I have been most involved in the Back to School! Store. I've done everything from shopping for clothes for the kids, co-chairing the event to developing a website for the event.

The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action. Inspired by Jewish values, NCJW strives for social justice by improving the quality of life for women, children, and families and by safeguarding individual rights and freedoms. The St. Louis Section, founded in 1895, has operated over 100 service projects and programs throughout it's history to help women, children and families in our community. With a small staff and a large corps of volunteers, they currently serve over 1000 children at the annual Back-To-School! Store, now in its 10th year and another several hundred children annually through Kids Community Closet. They operate lean and mean--tight budget--with tight controls on every dollar spent. I highly recommend supporting this organization.
