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. We rely heavily on volunteers and community support to keep our doors open.
Our client mentors provide assistance to our clients with rebuilding their lives. Volunteers are assigned one client at a time to work with 1 on 1. Volunteers help our clients understand complete their goals, whether it be obtaining employment, getting into housing, or arranging a move. Volunteers will work closely with case managers in assessing client needs and empowering clients to live healthy, independent lives.
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.
