Many women choose to donate their time, energy and expertise to the Library. Glasgow Women’s Library has always grown with the support of volunteers, and women with knowledge of archiving, databases, D.I.Y. and design all regularly offer their expertise.
Volunteering at GWL can help you to:
- make a difference
- gain new skills and experience
- meet new people
- access training
We will be posting requests for volunteers with specific skills or for specific tasks in the section below. If you would like to be contacted about other ways that you can support our work, or would like to be mailed with information about volunteering at GWL, please contact us. If you are interested in any of the Volunteer Posts displayed below, please download and fill in the GWL Volunteer Application Form and send the completed form back to: Glasgow Women’s Library, 15 Berkeley Street, Glasgow, G3 7BW.

Our Volunteer Co-ordinator works across 3 other organisations (Move On, Amina-the Muslim Women’s Resource Centre, and Diversity Films) and would be happy to discuss volunteering opportunities with each of these organisations. Please contact us for further information.
We can pay for travel expenses.
