The Safe House volunteer works one 4-hour shift per week.
JBWS offers the community a 24hr Helpline (877-R-U-ABUSED) which serves as a resource and support to any individual with questions or concerns regarding domestic violence. Volunteers help to staff this line throughout day and evening shifts, responding to calls from victims and survivors of abuse, individuals who are abusive in their relationships, family members and friends of individuals impacted by domestic violence.
Safehouse volunteers also assist clients and/or staff with a variety of tasks including:
transportation, room set-up, organizational tasks and administration projects.
Volunteers allow our staff to focus their time and energies on providing direct services to our in-house clients and their families.
Prospective volunteers are required to attend a 40-hour training course which is held twice a year, spring and fall.
To begin this process, please visit http://jbws.org/volunteer.html to access our on-line application.
Bilingual is a plus!
