You Can Help EDVP: Volunteers

"This shelter has saved my life as well as my children's. To be able to come to a beautiful place where there is no physical, mental or sexual abuse

is a dream come true. Death was so close before I arrived here. It's hard to believe that strangers care, when those you felt loved you hurt you so much."
-- My Sister's Home shelter resident

Volunteers are an integral part of our agency. In 1999 alone, volunteers contributed over 12,000 hours. We couldn't do our job without them. We have three types of volunteers:

Direct Service Volunteers. Want to work directly with the domestic violence victims that EDVP serves? We offer an intensive 50-hour training session that includes domestic violence education, crisis intervention skills, working with children who have witnessed domestic violence and much more.

Support Service Volunteers. Want to work with our agency in other areas? We have opportunities to help with administration, fundraising, community education and much more.

Technology Volunteers. Want to contribute your technical or graphic design skills to a great cause? We have an active technology group working on leading-edge creative and technical projects.
