Computer and Tech support
Have an inner computer nerd in you that is just busting to come out? Come on in and help us with tech support. Every now and then we need to update our computers, work on our computer lab and do general support of our computer needs. Contact Stephen for more info at smiller@garmentworkercenter.org.
Childcare
At the Garment Worker Center, we try to be much more than just a service organization. So we strive to make this a place where workers feel comfortable bringing their children with them when they come to the GWC for activities on Saturday afternoons. In order to do this, we provide child care for kids ranging in age from about 1 to about 14 years of age. We welcome volunteers who would like to share in the joy of caring for these young people. Many of these children speak only Spanish, but all are eager to play, create, and share with everyone, regardless of their language abilities.
We are looking for energetic political conscious volunteers who want to help with child care development.
