Volunteers Needed for Domestic Violence Program

The next volunteer training will start January 9, 2012.  

As a program that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, volunteers play a key role in providing services to those affected by domestic violence.  Volunteers with the program interact personally with individuals in need, an opportunity that many find extremely fulfilling.  There is a need for Volunteer Shelter/Child Program Supervisors.  This position provides crisis counseling to residents of the Battered Women's Shelter and to callers on the 24-hour hotline as well as conducts activiites with children while their mothers are in support groups.   The training is 40 hours, and while it is intense, there is only a post-training commitment of 12 hours a month scheduled at the volunteer's convenience.
