Crisis Center North is a not-for-profit in the North Hills serving victims of domestic violence offering counseling, economic empowerment, legal advocacy, medical advocacy, prevention education and a 24/7 crisis hotline. Volunteers provide a variety of services, including serving on our board or committees, fundraising, tabling and helping with events. Our biggest and most crucial need are volunteers to answer our crisis and referral hotline during weekends and evenings, which can be done from a cell phone at your home. Calls range from giving information and referrals to safety planning with victims of domestic abuse to helping those concerned for loved ones who may be experiencing abuse and want help.
You must be at least 18 years of age and training is required for all direct service volunteers: 40 training hours, half of which is online, is required for hotline volunteers and 4 training hours are required for board members. We ask that volunteers commit to at least one year of service.
If you are interested in volunteering in any of our divisions, please contact Crisis Center North at 412-364-6728 or email the volunteer coordinator at echarles@crisiscenternorth.org for more information.
