Expanding the mission.

Common Wealth Charlotte depends on volunteers to expand its mission into Charlotte, Mecklenburg County and beyond. We offer volunteers training, along with opportunities to assist in the delivery of our trauma-informed education and counseling at both group and individual levels.

Volunteering at CWC can take on a number of looks, and because of the complex nature of our trauma-informed approach, staff and advisors are always available to assist. See our volunteer opportunities below. If you’re interested in applying to be a volunteer, follow the instructions at the end of this page - both application and background check below are required.
