Volunteer With Us
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to volunteer independently or between 13 and 15 to volunteer with a parent.
Volunteers interested in taking the 40 Hour Domestic Violence Advocacy Training must be at least 16 years old and if less than 18 years old must supply parent permission to attend the training.
Can past PFS clients volunteer?
Previous PFS Clients must wait one full year from the last date of service to apply to be a volunteer.
Can I volunteer in a direct client service role?
As a community agency addressing Intimate Partner Abuse, we have certain requirements that we need to meet as part of the service provisions to our clients. For example, all employees and volunteers who have direct contact with our clients are required to have completed certification in a State Mandated 40-hour Domestic Violence Advocacy Training, which PFS is going to offer.
Not only are these requirements imposed from external factors outside of our agency, but a necessity we find valid in ensuring the ongoing safety and confidentiality of those clients we serve.
