Also, Home and Yard Volunteers assist with shelter projects throughout the year.
Current volunteers at SAFE offer many reasons for becoming involved: “I’m new to the area, and I’ve made a wonderful network of friends...I really feel like I belong here now.” Another volunteer says, “I feel like I receive more than I give. Just one caring act can mean so much to a woman who feels alone in her crisis.” And, “It’s fulfilling to know I’m doing something beyond myself, to be a healing influence to the pain of others. This is something that affects us all, whether we realize it or not, when one family suffers, we are all victims.”
Volunteer training will be offered on April 27, 29, May 4 and 6 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Topics to be covered will include: 1) The Social and Psychological Dynamics of Spouse Abuse; 2) Values Clarification/Counseling Skills for Volunteers; 3) Community Resources and Shelter Operations; 4) Legal Issues Related to Domestic Violence; and 5) Children ^Victims.
