In Utah, 1 in 3 women will face domestic violence in her lifetime. Peace House is a nonprofit organization which seeks to stop the cycle of domestic violence through shelter, education, and resources. Volunteers provide clients with new perspectives, and the opportunity to connect with safe individuals from all different backgrounds. We rely heavily on volunteers and community support to keep our doors open.
Our childcare volunteers are responsible for providing children with a safe, caring environment. They also allow for parents to go to therapy groups, job interviews, or simply taking care of tasks uninterupted. Peace House provides 16 hours of domestic violence training before volunteers begin (the next training will take place in September). Shifts are often scheduled out for the month, but there are also multiple on-call needs.
Sometimes we do not have any kids in the shelter and there can be some time between shifts.
Please join us in our mission!

Mission Statement
PEACE HOUSE MISSION STATEMENT: Peace House is dedicated to ending interpersonal violence and abuse and empowering survivors to heal and thrive by providing support services, safe housing, and prevention education.
Description
In 1992, the shocking murder of a woman by her estranged husband in a Park City parking lot energized community leaders to do something about domestic violence. They formed a Domestic Peace Task Force and in 1995 the Peace House shelter became a reality.
For the first few years, Peace House operated entirely with volunteers. Today, the shelter is a state-licensed facility with trained staff on site 24/7. We continue to rely on a cadre of volunteers to supplement the small paid staff.
In the years since it began as a safe haven for victims of domestic violence, Peace House has evolved to include community education and awareness programs designed to reduce the violence and abuse in our communities. We also provide many support services to victims outside of the shelter.
