Volunteer at Safe Passage

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.

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.

Our volunteer program has two different tracks: Ambassador and Service. Both tracks allow for opportunities for volunteers to engage fully and meaningfully in the work that we do! Every department of Safe Passage is working toward our overall goal of a world without violence.

In the Ambassador Track, volunteers support us in Community Engagement, Development, and Admin.

Possible projects include:

  • Supporting outreach efforts with local community organizations and providers
  • Contributing to our communications efforts, social media strategy, and content creation
  • Supporting the Survivor Anthology Project

  • Developing or assisting with special events and projects
  • Assisting in program development, outreach, research, and data collection
  • Supporting Community Engagement programming by acting as a Volunteer Leader
  • And more!

Total training time required: 6-15 hours 

We are not currently onboarding volunteers in the Ambassador Track right now. Please check back in the future!

I really enjoy working alongside Safe Passage staff to make a positive difference for our community. Volunteers are given a lot of trust and resources to educate themselves. Through volunteering I have learned so much about domestic violence and interrupting abusive behaviors. Thank you for helping me become more alert and aware. I feel really lucky to be part of an organization that so clearly values their volunteers.
