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 personal and communal 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.
To get started:
Sign up to attend an upcoming Volunteer Info Session! All prospective volunteers should participate in one of these 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.
Not ready for an Info Session yet? Sign up to receive emails that keep you connected to future volunteer opportunities.
The goals of the Volunteer Program at Safe Passage are:
- To expand our organizational capacities with the skills and knowledge of community members.
- To build and maintain an informed and skilled community capable of taking action to support survivors and prevent violence.
- To create and deepen mutually beneficial relationships between our organization and community members.
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.

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.).
