We are currently seeking a neutral, spiritually grounded third-party advisor to assist with a one-time pastoral accountability and discernment session related to a confidential internal leadership matter. This opportunity is ideal for a wise, compassionate leader with experience in pastoral care, ethics, or advocacy-and no prior ties to Wind Haven or its leadership. Responsibilities: Participate as a neutral witness and external advisor during a one-time internal leadership review. Offer insight on spiritual, ethical, and redemptive leadership practices. Support a process grounded in accountability, healing, and biblical integrity. Attend a recorded Google Meet session for internal documentation and transparency. Qualifications: Clergy, minister, or faith-based professional with experience in pastoral counseling, spiritual care, or ethics. Knowledge of financial principles and business contracts is required (formal legal training not necessary). Experience in redemptive leadership, biblical accountability, and grace-based guidance. Trauma-informed perspective and/or nonprofit governance experience is a plus. Fully neutral: No prior personal or professional relationships with Wind Haven’s staff or board. Able to sign a confidentiality agreement and approach the process prayerfully and professionally. Comfortable using Google Meet or similar video conferencing tools. Time Commitment: One-time engagement (approximately 1-2 hours total). Why This Matters: At Wind Haven, we believe in Christ-centered leadership rooted in humility, transparency, and restoration. This session represents a critical step toward strengthening accountability, trust, and spiritual alignment within our leadership team. To Apply: Please submit a brief bio, your ministry or faith-based background, and a short statement about why you feel led to serve in this role. Apply via [VolunteerMatch]. Please Note: This is not a legal matter, and we are not seeking legal advice or representation. This opportunity is for spiritual discernment and nonprofit accountability support only. While legal or nonprofit leadership experience is helpful, attorneys may only serve in a non-legal, advisory capacity. We are specifically seeking a neutral, trauma-informed, faith-based advisor to support a one-time internal board matter in accordance with our bylaws.

Location: Virtual (Wind Haven Online Campus) Commitment: Minimum 3-5 hours per week Reports To: Wind Haven Healing Advisor About the Role - Become the First Generation of Domestic Abuse Peer Recovery Specialists! At Wind Haven Foundation, we believe that healed people help heal people. Our Certified Peer Recovery Specialists are survivors who have walked through the fire, found freedom, and are now ready to walk alongside others on their healing journey. This is more than just a volunteer role-it’s sacred work. Survivor-led mentorship grounded in compassion, faith, and real-life lived experience. You’ll be part of our mission to revolutionize domestic abuse recovery by offering safety, strategy, and soul-deep support to those reclaiming their lives. What Makes This Different Most peer recovery certifications focus on addiction or generalized mental health. Ours is different-it's specific to domestic abuse recovery. There’s no national standard or state certification for domestic abuse survivor peer support- we are that standard. Wind Haven’s certification is trauma-informed, faith-rooted, and survivor-built. Required Qualifications To be eligible for this role, you must: Be a survivor of domestic abuse, intimate partner violence, or coercive control Successfully complete our Wind Haven’s 6-Month Domestic Abuse Survivor Recovery Program Demonstrate emotional readiness and stability to support others (evaluated during the interview process) Commit to ongoing spiritual, emotional, and personal growth Be at least 21 years old Role Responsibilities Offer one-on-one or group peer support (virtually) to survivors in early recovery through mentorship, encouragement, and lived-experience guidance Help survivors navigate Wind Haven’s programs, healing tools, and online recovery campus with clarity and compassion Support the mission through organic outreach-this includes sharing about the recovery program in your community, on social media, or within safe survivor spaces as appropriate (always trauma-informed and consent-based) Attend monthly supervision sessions and continuing education opportunities to grow in leadership, deepen your skills, and stay aligned with Wind Haven’s model Uphold confidentiality, maintain ethical standards, and embody Wind Haven’s values in all peer interactions Immediately report any red flags, safety concerns, or crisis situations to your supervisor-peer mentors don't carry it alone; you’re part of a team Ideal Traits We’re looking for volunteers who are: Growth-minded - You’ve done the work, and you’re not done growing Faith-filled but not judgmental - Grounded in grace, guided by Scripture, and not afraid to sit in the mess with someone Authentic - You know how to tell your story with truth and dignity, and you use it to lift others Stable and self-aware - You understand your triggers, have healthy boundaries, and know when to pause or refer Collaborative - You thrive in community, receive feedback with humility, and bring your strengths to the table Role Responsibilities Offer one-on-one or group peer support (virtually) to survivors in early recovery Help others navigate Wind Haven’s programs, tools, and recovery resources Attend monthly supervision sessions and continuing education opportunities Uphold confidentiality, follow Wind Haven’s values, and operate with integrity and compassion Immediately report any red flags, safety concerns, or crisis situations to your supervisor What This Role Is NOT This is not therapy. This is not crisis intervention. Peer Recovery Specialists are mentors, not clinicians. You’re not here to fix. You’re here to walk beside. To show what healing looks like with skin on.
