Volunteer with Clackamas Women’s Services

Clackamas Women’s Services fosters self-empowerment of survivors of domestic and sexual violence to move toward lives free of abuse through the provision of crisis and referral services, emergency shelter, transitional services, and community and business education and outreach, thereby reducing the generational recurrence of domestic and sexual violence in our community.   

Direct Service Volunteer Opportunities: Anyone wanting to volunteer in direct services to women and children is required to complete our Volunteer Training. The training covers Clackamas Women’s Services’ philosophy and approach to working with women and children who are surviving domestic and sexual violence. Volunteer training sessions are offered several times throughout the year. Each session encompasses approximately 36-40 hours of reading, training and lectures spread out over several evenings and weekend dates.

Lent Elementary School Receives Books

To honor Tom Ruhl the creator of the Teacher Education Program at Marylhurst University, a book drive was conducted Fall, 2011 to collect books for young children.  Tamara Meek, a Marylhurst MAT student, presented John Horn, principal of Lent Elementary, the collected books on Nov 29, 2011.

Almost 400 books were collected, schools in partnership with the Education Department at Cherry Park School, Lent School and Oak Grove Elementary as schools in partnership with Marylhurst University were chosen to each receive a part of the books collected.

From the MAT students, and the many contributors to the book drive who loved Tom Ruhl, our hope is that the young children at these schools will enjoy reading the books and find reading a wonderful way to adventures.
