Thank you for your interest in volunteering with RESPOND!

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic and out of an abundance of caution,
we have currently suspended volunteer recruitment.

If you are interested in volunteering with RESPOND in the future, please fill out our Volunteer Form below so that we can contact you when it is safe for our program to resume.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Philanthropy and Engagement team by calling (617) 625-5996 or by emailing development@respondinc.org.


Your help brings us one step closer to ending domestic violence in our community. RESPOND offers both individuals and groups a variety of opportunities for getting involved. From direct service to answering the crisis hotline, clerical work or manual labor—there are many ways to lend your expertise, time, and talents!

Volunteers

  • Programs and Services Volunteer
    RESPOND relies on dedicated, trained volunteers to assist by supplementing direct service staff’s work with families, answering hotline calls, providing childcare, assisting with individual counseling and support groups. Programs and Services volunteers must attend an intensive 25-hour training* educating participants on the effects of domestic violence on individuals, families and children. This training prepares staff and volunteers to work with trauma survivors and is conducted two to three times a year.
  • Administrative Office Volunteer
    RESPOND welcomes friendly administrative volunteers to assist with answering the phones, greeting visitors and helping with special projects.
  • Project Volunteer
    RESPOND offers project-based volunteer opportunities throughout the year including painting, light carpentry and other group based activities.
  • Expertise Volunteer
    Have a special skill that you are willing to share? RESPOND encourages you to share your skills in graphic design, information/technology, marketing, law, etc.!
  • Event Volunteer
    Join a committee! RESPOND has several working event committees, including the Events Committee whose primary task is planning and executing RESPOND’s signature fundraising events. There are various opportunities throughout the year to help plan an event that raises awareness and resources to support RESPOND’s programs and services!

For all volunteer opportunities, please call Philanthropy and Engagement at (617) 625-5996 or email development@respondinc.org.
