Children's Program Volunteers spend time with children residing in our Domestic Violence Safe House located in Arlington, VA. Volunteers play games, help with homework, and otherwise engage in healthy & fun activities. The goal is for the kids to take their minds off their trauma and provide parents the opportunity to relax or attend meetings on-site. Shifts are typically Mondays and Wednesday evenings, 1.5 hours each. The shelter is a secure location, about a 10-minute walk from orange/silver lines. Interested?
