Join the Movement
a community of responders
Everything we do at Yada is a response to a real barrier we have seen prevent a woman from taking steps forward in her journey. Every volunteer role exists because a real need exists — and you can be part of meeting it.

We recommend all volunteers attend volunteer trainings when able, but it's not required to get started. Our trainings help you better understand trauma responses and how to navigate conversations and situations you may encounter. The more face-to-face time you spend with the women and children of Yada, the more valuable these trainings become. That said, there are plenty of ways to serve that don't require any training at all.
Volunteer trainings are typically offered monthly. Text YADA to (888) 407-6340 to stay in the loop on upcoming dates.
Volunteers under 18 are welcome in many roles with a parent or guardian.
Absolutely. Churches, small groups, businesses, and organizations are welcome. Group volunteering is a wonderful way to serve together. Reach out through our [contact form] and we'll find the right fit.
No problem at all. There's no obligation. You'll receive texts about needs and respond only when you're available. Life happens — we get it.
Yes! There are lots of ways men can use their skills to serve at Yada
For Car Care, basic mechanical knowledge is helpful but we welcome anyone willing to learn and help. For Crafters, all skill levels are welcome — we'll find a project that fits you.
Some volunteer roles — like outreach — require additional training and orientation. If you're interested in going deeper or have a specific way you'd like to serve, we'd love to connect. Reach out through our [contact form] or speak directly with Yada leadership.
Yada has Community Drop-in every Tuesday at the store from 1-4. This is a perfect time to meet some of the Yada crew, enjoy some snacks, and come and see what we are all about!
