Are you looking for something to keep your mind busy but don’t want to over-commit?
Do you like connecting with others but haven’t quite found the right activity for you?
Would you like some structure or routine in your life,whereby a small weekly commitment or monthly deadline would be a welcome anchor?
Then we have something for you.
We know that over-committing just leads to volunteer burn-out, so we have divided most of our volunteer positions into bite-sized tasks so that you can enjoy them and feel part of our community.
We will pair you up with someone from the Club in the beginning to get you started and give you the support you need.
If you see something you like, please reach out to any of the BWC Committee members to tell you more or send an email to info@brusselswomens.club.
