Are you interested in volunteering as a Job Counselor? Each session we match women from the community with our team members. They work together to assess job skill strengths, develop a resume, prepare for interviews, and begin a job search. It’s a great opportunity to get to know a TWB team member and help her get the second chance she deserves!
