Volunteer Prospect with Step into Work: Help Us Make a Difference!

About Us: Step into Work (SIW) runs programs aimed at supporting women to develop the confidence and skills they need to find meaningful employment. We work with under-employed or unemployed women, particularly mothers of young children, who may also be facing other social difficulties ranging from migration, financial, family, or parenting stress.
