Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at CCCNH, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. Volunteers are integral to CCCNH and play a critical role in all aspects of our organization! We appreciate the many volunteers who dedicate their skills, passion and expertise to help CCCNH support survivors of violence and the Merrimack County community.

In this role, you will be required to complete a 35-hour training that will prepare you to provide confidential advocacy and support. You are not required to have any previous training in crisis work, only a strong desire to help those in need of services and passion for making a difference for survivors.
Shifts are available on an on-call basis from your home or wherever else you may be. There are opportunities on weekdays, weeknights, and weekends with varying hours catered to volunteer availability.
Requirements:
- Be a resident of New Hampshire
- Commit to a minimum of 1 year of service.
- Complete 35-hour advocate training.
- Commit to 24 hours of service per month (with flexible combinations.)
