VOLUNTEER AS AN INDIVIDUAL

The opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life is at the heart of the volunteer experience. At Survivor’s Journey to Peace, we recognize that volunteers are a valuable resource and our best ambassadors. Volunteers make the choice to help. Simply, because they care, volunteers have a far-reaching positive impact on our clients and the community.

Each year our volunteers provide countless hours of service to Survivor’s Journey to Peace.  We simply could not provide life-changing services to victims of domestic abuse and their families without the support and commitment of our volunteers.  We hope you’ll join us as we strive to achieve our mission of providing help and hope to those affected by domestic abuse.
