ORGANIZATION: PEACE HOUSE INC
Please visit the new page to apply.
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 Support Advocate volunteers provide emotional support, resources, and material needs to victims of domestic violence who are staying in our emergency shelter. In addition, volunteers assist in answering the 24/7 emergency hotline. An ideal volunteer would be compassionate, a problem solver, and able to handle emergency situations. The overnight shift is the perfect opportunity for a volunteer with a busy schedule to help, as they have the option of sleeping at the shelter. Peace House provides 24 hours of Domestic Violence training before beginning (training will take place in September). See how your compassion can impact the lives of individuals who have been traumatized by domestic violence.
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.
