We are seeking individuals to act as Children's Program Volunteer 3 hours per month (usually two 90min shifts) in our Domestic Violence Safe House located in Arlington, VA. Volunteers interact with the children in our shelters by playing games, helping with homework, and otherwise engaging in healthy and fun activities that help the kids take their mind off their trauma and provide parents the chance to attend meetings or relax on-site. Shifts for the Children's Program are typically Monday, and Wednesday evenings.
