Volunteer opportunities

Due to the changing needs of SafePlace and our clients, we have a variety of volunteer opportunities available at any given time. For this reason, it is best to contact the volunteer coordinator to find out what volunteer opportunities exist at the present time. There are two main work areas, direct services and support services.

Direct services work includes working directly with clients and residents in our shelter. This can include anything from co-facilitating support groups, assisting with activities for the children in the shelter, or becoming an on-call sexual assault advocate, and answering our crisis lines.

Support services are volunteer opportunities that provide support to the overall mission of the agency. With this type of work, a person has no contact with clients or residents. Support services work can include tabling at events in the community, providing office assistance, helping with bulk mailings, and helping with yard and facility maintenance. Support service volunteers need only attend core trainings in order to volunteer.
