About Family Justice Center Domestic Violence Volunteers Needed

The Family Justice Center has four safe, comfortable, convenient locations where victims of domestic violence can receive free services to help them lead a life free from abuse. Each of our locations relies on the assistance of caring, compassionate community members to act as volunteers and interns in order to help us be as effective as possible.

The Family Justice Center offers many different volunteer opportunities for individuals interested in getting involved.

Some of the ways you can help as a volunteer include:

*Completing clerical and other general office duties
*Greeting clients and escorting them around the office and to the Living Rooms where they will receive services
*Providing child supervision in our Child Waiting Area
*Operating our agency hotline (SafeLine) and making referrals for clients via phone
*Completing intakes with clients (Previous experience working in a human service field or a strong educational background in a similar area of study is generally required to be trained to complete intakes)

Application Process
