Volunteer Information
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at SafeHouse Center! We have a rich history of providing exemplary services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and are in the forefront of efforts to create a violence-free society. We invite you to join us in this work. Here’s how to get started.

If you would like to work directly with survivors and their children, SafeHouse has four programs in which you can do so. All of these programs involve crisis intervention, which includes providing emotional support and advocacy, engaging in safety planning and sharing information about domestic violence and sexual assault.
  1. Shelter Volunteers work in our 50-bed shelter where they interact with residents and their children, assist with communal living and answer our 24-Hour HelpLine.

  2. Children’s Volunteers provide emotional support to children affected by domestic violence. They role model healthy, non-violent relationships and engage in activities with children both at the shelter and on field trips.

  3. On-Call Volunteers work in teams of two outside of business hours to provide immediate crisis intervention to survivors. A valid drivers license and access to a reliable vehicle are required for this program.

  4. Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) Volunteers provide crisis intervention and support to survivors, ages 12 and up, immediately following a sexual assault. This takes place at hospitals on evenings and weekends and a valid drivers license and access to a reliable vehicle are required.
In addition, volunteers are encouraged to facilitate support groups and participate in SafeHouse Community Education and Outreach. Information about these opportunities will be provided during training.


If you are interested in volunteer work that does not involve crisis intervention with survivors and/or their children, please contact our Volunteer and Intern Program Coordinator at (734) 973-0242 x 252 or volunteer@safehousecenter.org to discuss those opportunities.
