Domestic Violence
I realized how little I have done to help other people throughout my life. There is so much that needs to be done. But my joy for the day is that I have now started. You have to start sometime. Now I know how important it is to help others. I want to do more and will do more.

Description of Opportunities:
DVSC provides counseling, crisis intervention, professional training, information & referral, support groups, emergency shelter, community education, and legal system advocacy for both men and women. Volunteers are needed to help with office projects such as hanging signs/posters locally and other awareness raising efforts. Men and women are both welcome to participate.
If a volunteer provides this type of support and shows responsibility and maturity, the volunteer can undergo Counselor Advocate Training. This 50-hour training enables the volunteer to provide direct services to clients. A two-semester commitment is asked of anyone who receives this training.
