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
