Children's Program Volunteer

**Training classes run three times per year: Fall (Sep-Nov), Winter (Jan-March) and Spring (April-June). Entrance into cohort is first come-first serve.**

We are seeking individuals to act as Children's Program Volunteer 3 hours per month (usually two 90min shifts on weeknights) in our Domestic Violence Safe House and Homeless Family Home. Volunteers interact with the children in our shelters by playing games, helping with homework, and otherwise engaging in healthy and fun activities that help the kids take their mind off their trauma.

Doorways is an Arlington-based non-profit agency helping individuals and families create pathways out of homelessness, domestic violence and sexual assault leading to safe, stable and empowered lives. We envision a community where all people live free of violence and have safe and stable housing regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, age, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, abilities, language, or national origin. We see a future without homelessness or domestic and sexual violence.

Volunteers must complete 40 hours of training in person and submit background checks. One year commitment required.
