Are you eager to become an advocate for women experiencing domestic violence? Domestic violence survivor advocates work in locations throughout the community to support, educate and advocate for victims of domestic violence. Support Groups give group members a place to learn from each other and share in each other’s journey towards healing.
NON-therapist facilitators lead weekly support groups for women who have experienced or are currently experiencing domestic violence. Groups cover a variety of topics aimed at empowerment and support for women. Curriculum is provided and volunteer facilitators always co-facilitate with a staff member or an experienced volunteer.
No experience for this position is required. We ask that all potential volunteers are ready to learn, listen and practice empathy. It is not required that a facilitator be a survivor of domestic violence. Groups are generally once a week for 8-10 weeks. Volunteer facilitators are asked to commit to 2 rounds of support groups per year.
Have questions but don't want to commit? Reach out and we're happy to answer them!
