    Description

    💜 MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BE THERE WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. 💜

    Our Domestic Violence Program is recruiting new volunteers, and we’re looking for compassionate, dependable people who want to support survivors and make a meaningful difference in our community.

    No experience? That’s okay! Volunteers receive comprehensive training and the support they need to become advocates for survivors.

    As a volunteer, you may:

    📞 Answer the 24-hour domestic violence hotline on weekends

    💙 Provide emotional support, information, and resources

    🤝 Accompany survivors to the police department and/or hospital

    🌱 Help survivors connect with resources and support

    Whether you’re looking to give back, develop advocacy skills, or simply be there for someone during a difficult moment, your time can make a lasting impact.

    📧 Email: Lydia.guiguis@alexandriava.gov

    📝 Apply online: DVP Volunteer Application

    One share. One conversation. One person showing up.

    It could make all the difference to someone who needs support. 💜
