A Window Between Worlds is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using art to help end domestic violence. Through creative expression, battered women and children gain a sense of renewal and power. Their images of hope, survival and strength educate the public and become “a window between worlds” for survivors taking steps to change their lives.

Mission: A Window Between Worlds is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using art as a healing tool to empower and transform individuals and communities impacted by violence and trauma.

Vision:   A Window Between Worlds envisions a world where safety, healing and hope replace violence, silence and shame; where art is a catalyst to release trauma, build resilience and ignite social change to end domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault and intimate partner violence.

VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS NEEDED! 

AWBW is always in need of volunteers; some weeks are more critical than others.  There are a wide range of opportunities and responsibilities to select from with a flexible commitment and schedule. It is a great opportunity to support the critical work of AWBW programs!

Volunteer Saturdays:   AWBW holds a Volunteer Day on the third Saturday of each month – the purpose of these days are to help with a variety of tasks that can include mailings, art supply sorting, project preparations and decorating envelopes.  Volunteers are welcome to come to these whenever their schedule permits.
