Become a volunteer

Becoming a part of the SafePlace volunteer program requires a commitment, not just of your time, but also of your energy in the fight to end violence and oppression in our community. There are a variety of ways in which you can choose to give your time, and your service does not have to be concurrent. Once you are accepted into the training class, you will work with the volunteer coordinator to find the volunteer position that is best for you.
