Volunteer at Safe Passage and...
The work of ending domestic violence and relationship abuse cannot be done alone—we need your help to make it a reality!
We view our volunteers as a direct link to the communities we serve, and believe in crafting meaningful experiences that bolster the mission of Safe Passage and strengthen community connections.
We know that volunteers come to Safe Passage with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience. We seek volunteers from all walks of life and backgrounds (no prior experience working in domestic violence advocacy is required), and will work with you to make sure you feel prepared for and supported in your time here.
Safe Passage volunteers are also welcome to use this experience for academic or professional purposes. Safe Passage can work with individual volunteers to accommodate academic or professional requirements.
To get started:
All prospective volunteers should participate in one of our Volunteer Info Sessions sessions, which will give you more information on who we are, the logistics of the program, and what to expect from involvement. After the session, you will have the option to fill out a Volunteer Application and continue your experience.

Internships
We currently offer internships on a case by case basis, and generally provide the same programming for interns as we do for volunteers. This means that if our volunteer programming fulfills your internship requirements, we are more than happy to approve your internship here with Safe Passage! However, your internship requirements may exceed what we can offer. In this case, we may not be able to accommodate your needs.
To request information about an internship, please email the Community Engagement Coordinator at volunteer@safepass.org with your interests and information about your internship requirements (i.e. how many hours needed, supervision requirements, length of internship and ideal start date, etc.).
