Weekend Warriors of WCCAC

Once a month we host a weekend opportunity for any community members to assist WCCAC with a project!

 This is a perfect opportunity for people who work 8-5, families, boy & girl scout troops, faith-based groups, and anyone who loves what we do!

Group Opportunities

Is your organization interested in giving back? WCCAC loves being able to host community partners at our Center while they give their time to help the kiddos and families of Williamson County!

Professional Opportunities

Volunteering your professional skillset is an impactful way to give back, whether it’s marketing, writing, painting, or dog grooming we can always find a way to utilize your specific skills!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I Volunteer if I'm 18 and in High School?

While we appreciate youth wanting to help out other youth, we often serve clients that are also high school-aged.  To ensure their privacy, we want to make sure that as a volunteer you don’t bump into someone that you might know.

However, if you are under the age of 18 or are 18 and attending a Williamson County High School we encourage you to check out our Weekend Warriors of WCCAC!

Can I only Volunteer during Business Hours?

While most of our on-going volunteer opportunities occur during business hours (M-F: 8 AM – 6 PM) we do sporadically have community outreach events on the weekend or after hours from time to time. 

Additionally, we have our Weekend Warrior program which allows those to volunteer who normally cannot during business hours.

As a Volunteer will I be able to watch a Forensic Interview?

No. The only people who are able to watch a Forensic Interview are staff members and the MDT members who are working the case. 

Can I Volunteer my time outside the Center?

Yes! If you want to be involved, we will find a way to get you connected. Whether that’s making blankets, collecting stuffed animals, or picking up supplies to help assemble packets!

There are also lots of opportunities for hosting drives as well, check out our donate page for more info

Is there a Time Commitment for Volunteering?

No, we understand that not everyone’s schedules are fixed/normal. We do not have a minimum hour requirement you must hit to remain an active volunteer in our program, however, if you remain inactive/uncommunicative for two months we may mark you as inactive.
