Direct Service Volunteers

Direct Service Volunteers provide support and resources directly to survivors of domestic violence and their communities. Opportunities include:

• 24/7 Crisis Hotline Support
• Text Line Support
• Leading groups with children and youth residents at our confidential Shelter
• Community tabling events
• Teaching or sharing skills with clients (yoga teacher certification, crafting, cooking, and more!)

Direct Service Volunteers must complete the 40-hour Domestic Violence Advocate Training before beginning volunteer work. The training is FREE for volunteers. We ask that Direct Service Volunteers plan to commit at least 4 hours of volunteer work per week for one year, or 100 total service hours.
