CAWC has a need for volunteers in the following areas:

DIRECT SERVICE
Direct service volunteers work with the staff as a team to provide services to women and children served through CAWC’s programs.  Volunteers provide significant support to our children’s programs at both the Humboldt Park Outreach Program (HPOP) and the Greenhouse shelter program. In addition, volunteers at the Greenhouse shelter provide assistance to shelter residents, respond to hotline and other calls, and help with facility oversight. 

Volunteering directly with women and child survivors requires some special understanding of the dynamics of family abuse. Our direct service volunteers are required to complete a 40 hour Domestic Violence training program which we provide for volunteers making an initial commitment minimum time commitment of 4 hours a week for at least 6 months. We offer this training three times per year (fall, winter and spring). Each training session occurs over seven Saturdays (usually consecutive). The next training program will begin in January.
