The training is long – 35 hours over 6 weeks – but you'll come away with the information and practical experience you need to confidently answer hotline calls and offer support and a listening ear to callers, whether they're in crisis or just wondering what's going on. And an experienced staff advocate is always available by phone to provide you with support and information should you need it as you do this work.
  Volunteers can also choose to meet in person with people in need of our help – along with an experienced staff advocate – during business hours at the Hope & Justice office that's most convenient.  Become a safe voice for someone in need

• Special projects volunteer. Help out when we need extra hands at an event, to hang posters, distribute outreach materials, clean offices, or do some gardening or yard work at one of our buildings. You never know what might come up...

• Board member. Our volunteer board members support strategic planning, raise funds, oversee the financial and programming management team, and keep the organization connected to the community through their personal and professional associations.

If you have an interest in being on our board, let us know with a call – 764-2977 – or by email, and we'll forward your contact information to the board president. Your name will be on the list for consideration when we next recruit new members. Survivors of abuse and violence are encouraged to join.
