Volunteer
Make a Worthwhile Difference
Thank you for your interest in donating your time, energy and skills to supporting the survivors we serve! We could not do what we do without the valuable contributions of our volunteers.
Volunteer hours allow us to keep overhead costs low so we can direct more funds into our survivor programs.
There is a place for everyone to get involved at Worthwhile!
Worthwhile Thrift Volunteers
Volunteers help keep costs low and allow for more funding to be directed to Worthwhile's restorative programs. Worthwhile Thrift in Plumsteadville, Collegeville and (coming soon) Horsham is open Monday-Saturday 10:00am-7:00pm. Shifts are generally 4 hours and scheduled when convenient to the volunteer.
Thrift store volunteers receive a 50% discount off of all thrift items (excluding White Ticket items and Gift Cards).

The Well Volunteers
We know that healing happens in the context of healthy relationships, which is why we seek out volunteers who want to walk alongside survivors in both big and small ways. As The Well continues to grow and our needs increase, the contributions of volunteers are extremely important.
Drivers
Volunteers drive participants to and from local appointments or their places of work. The more women living at The Well, the greater the need for more drivers.
Companion/Mentor
The women at The Well thrive off healthy relationships, which take time to grow. Consider taking a woman out for lunch, treating her to a mani/pedi, or just spending some quality time with her. It's often times in this context of being a companion where sharing a personal hobby might be of interest to the participant.
Speciality Activities
If you have a skill or trade you are interested in sharing with the participants at The Well, we would love to host you! We welcome anyone who would like to donate their time in either teaching speciality classes or providing services for free. For example, we have an esthetician who treats the participants to monthly skincare sessions that include skincare education! More examples: nutritionists, massage therapists, nail technicians/cosmetologists, chefs, art teachers, etc.
