Families to Freedom is looking for volunteers willing to use their language skills to translate for Spanish hotline callers who are victims or new survivors of abuse. Our nonprofit provides transportation for victims of domestic abuse to get to emergency shelter, and for shelter survivors to leave for family far away. We also assist with safety planning and provide referrals to other service providers. As our volunteer translator, this amazing person would work in collaboration with our Hotline Advocate team on calls when the need arises. The ideal candidate should be interested in assisting victims and new survivors of violence, have an understanding of challenges that women and victims face in society, willing to learn about domestic violence issues as part of training, and have fluent conversational Spanish and English proficiency. While this is a virtual opportunity open to anyone located in the US, our hotline hours are open from 8:00am until 5:00pm Monday through Friday Central Time. Our need for Spanish to English translation during a call would be unscheduled and requested on short notice.
Start the process at FamiliestoFreedom.org/Volunteer. For more details or answers to specific questions call 972-885-7020 or email volunteer@familiestofreedom.org
Orientation and training can be conducted virtually or in-person at our Addison, TX office.

Mission Statement
Our mission is transport victims of domestic abuse to safety.
Description
Families to Freedom provides free transportation services to victims and their children who have experienced domestic abuse. We make it possible for victims and new survivors to get far away from abusive relationships. Our life-saving services include car rides to domestic violence shelters across the region, road trips to family homes in other states, multi-state bus tickets, and fuel assistance to relocate far away. We serve victims and new survivors across North Texas, East Texas, and the Gulf Coast area. We drive over 900 victims and children each year between two offices located in Dallas and Houston. We rely on the generous support of the community to continue providing these services at no cost to the victims who call us.
