Become A Volunteer
Our volunteer program is designed to build a partnership with the community and increase public involvement in the fight to end the cycle of domestic violence.
A variety of essential services are provided by S.A.F.E. House volunteers. We value the contributions made by volunteers and recognize that volunteers are vital to our daily operations.
The following are volunteer opportunities for community supporters:
- FIT (Families in Transition) Aide: The FIT Aide Volunteer is responsible for working with both children and their parents in structured and casual group settings to model, coach, guide, and teach positive family interactions.(Assignment opportunities available M-F 11am-3pm and 6pm-8pm).

(Assignment opportunities available as needed).
