Volunteers are the Heart of Our Organization

What can I do?

You can make a difference in our community and in the lives of others by sharing your time and talents. As a volunteer with Domestic Violence Project, your help supports the goals of the agency, which are to provide a 24-hour hotline, safe shelter, counseling, case management, legal advocacy, childcare, and prevention education to domestic violence victims and their children. Your volunteer hours will help victims escape the cycle of violence and prevent future family violence. One kind heart will help the hearts of others!
