Mission Statement

The AmeriCorps Detroit Urban Safety- Domestic Violence Advocacy Project has a team of advocates stationed in police precincts throughout Detroit to reach survivors of domestic violence. Our advocate team is made up of AmeriCorps National Service volunteers who are passionate about helping survivors eliminate barriers towards living a violence-free life. We offer a bi-weekly stipend, health insurance (full-time, year-long members only) and tuition assistance. Check out the YouTube video to learn more about AmeriCorps. Here is how you can help: Please share this information with your network. This is an excellent opportunity to all those who would like to work in Detroit to support survivors of intimate partner violence while gaining professional development and being a part of an awesome team.
