Volunteers needed to help victims of intimate partner violence

YORK - Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women, a nationally known non-profit organization, is looking for volunteers to assist victims of intimate partner violence.

Volunteers are needed to cover the organization's toll-free crisis line. Full training is offered.

You may answer calls right from your home on weekdays, nights, weekends and/or holidays. The training is 40 hours and will consist of online and teleconferencing sessions. A new training session will begin soon.

Training topics include the dynamics of intimate partner violence against women and men, as well as the effects of family violence on children, relevant legal and social issues and much more.

Volunteers must have access to a computer with an Internet connection.

This is an opportunity to join a team of volunteers who are dedicated, enthusiastic and concerned about victims of intimate partner violence.

By helping to provide support and information to victims and survivors of family violence you will be making a difference in your community and assisting us with continued efforts towards creating zero-tolerance of intimate partner violence.

Please call (866) 786-0758 or e-mail communityresourcecoord@dahmw.org for more information about this volunteer opportunity.

Applications for the upcoming trainings are now being accepted.
