Get Involved
As a volunteer-led organisation, the impact and success of Assist Women’s Network would not be possible without the dedication, time, and commitment of our volunteers. We truly appreciate and are grateful for everything they do.
We are passionate about supporting our volunteers in their growth, helping them learn new skills, and encouraging them to form meaningful connections within the network that will aid in their personal and professional development.
This network was built by Tees Valley volunteers, and we simply couldn’t continue without them.
Not only will your time and skills make a real impact on our progress and reach, but volunteering with us is also a fantastic way to develop new skills, build friendships, and (if we do say so ourselves) have a lot of fun along the way!
We’re all volunteers here, and our roles range from front-line positions that represent the organisation at events to quieter, but equally important, admin roles and strategic thinkers on our steering group.
We welcome everyone, embracing diversity in all its forms. Whether it’s race, nationality, abilities, sexual orientation, religion, or beliefs. Together, we believe we can shape a brighter future.
- If you’re looking to gain work experience, we’ll support you in setting and achieving personal development goals tailored to your next steps.
- We offer remote working roles that cover the entire Tees Valley area.
- Flexible and convenient volunteering hours to fit your schedule.
- You’ll have the opportunity to attend all Assist events.
Our Volunteering Partner
We partner with Teesside University and the Volun-tees project. We have a solid team of past and present students that have made a huge impact on the organisation to shape the way it is today. There are skills and new ideas in our volunteers of all ages which we love to embrace, in return for the connections, opportunities and experiences that volunteering for Assist offers.
There are many benefits volunteering as a Teesside University student including awards. Emma Morris, Volun-tees Volunteer of the Year 2021 says “Volunteering for Assist has been invaluable to my life as a student whilst entering my career. The opportunities and connections are endless.”
