Get Involved with WNBA

The WNBA is an all-volunteer-run organization. Every program, every event, every email are the labor of love by our members. We are always happy to help members find WNBA volunteer opportunities that they enjoy and that are a good fit for them.

If you’d like regular updates, make sure to sign up for our Events & Opportunities emails.

• You can use your skills to help a 100-year-old literary nonprofit
• You can learn new skills and have people who will support your development
• Use projects you accomplish through volunteer service on your résumé or to build a portfolio
