At WAGEC, we believe everyone has the right to learn, engage and connect. Access to technology for women and children living in our accommodation is an ongoing challenge and is an essential need in a world that is increasingly moving online.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, much of the support WAGEC offers to women through our ACCESS and SEED programs is now provided online. 
WAGEConnect is a new program at WAGEC that connects women and children in crisis to work and study opportunities using donated laptops, tablets and iPhones from our community. We are asking our community to get on board by donating:

• new and used laptops
• tablets
• iPhones

All technology must be able to turn on, have no cracked screens and include a charger. To donate today, email donations@wagec.org.au

Giving your time and services through volunteering is another way you can support women and families in our communities. There are lots of ways you can be involved depending on your interests and skills. Our specific needs at moment are:

• Pick up of donations and transportation between sites
• Donation sorting and organising on site
• Electrician to install a fan
• Volunteers with their own lawn-mowers to occasionally help with mowing lawns at our crisis accommodation sites and transitional properties
• TEFL/TESOL Qualified tutors
