Volunteer!
The volunteer program here at Women and Children’s Horizons plays a major role in the success of the organization. From answering phone calls on our crisis line, to sorting clothes at Nifty Thrifty, to helping out with events, and many more. Volunteering at WCH allows people to provide a significant impact to their community and creates a positive difference in the lives of others. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to do all the work we do for the community of Kenosha.
