Children's Program Volunteers spend time with children residing in our Domestic Violence Safe House located in Arlington, VA. Volunteers play games, help with homework, and otherwise engage in healthy & fun activities. The goal is for the kids to take their minds off their trauma and provide parents the opportunity to relax or attend meetings on-site. Shifts are typically Mondays and Wednesday evenings, 1.5 hours each. The shelter is a secure location, about a 10-minute walk from orange/silver lines. Interested? Submit an application at this link: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/689890777.

Volunteers must be 18+, complete 40 hours of training on 1-2x evenings a week, and submit background checks before beginning. One year commitment required (2 shifts/month). Bilingual (including English and Spanish) applicants especially encouraged to apply.
