Direct Service Volunteers

Volunteers have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of survivors of domestic violence by completing our comprehensive 40-hour Counselor/Advocate Training. This training prepares volunteers to provide compassionate, informed support to victims and their children as they navigate difficult circumstances and work toward safety and healing.
​
Upon completion, trained volunteers can serve in a variety of vital roles, including assisting with our 24-hour hotline, providing counseling and advocacy support, helping with children’s programming and childcare, facilitating community support groups, or serving as on-call medical advocates in hospital emergency rooms. Whether offering a listening ear, supporting a child, or advocating for a survivor in crisis, volunteers play an essential role in ensuring that no one has to face domestic violence alone.
