Volunteer

Your time can be someone else's lifeline.

DVSAS Volunteers ensure that no matter when it is, or where they are, victims of violence or assault don’t have to be alone. From answering the 24-hour helpline, to working with children affected by violence, to reaching out to the community to share resources, volunteers help each survivor find their voice and take back their lives. Apply to volunteer today!

If you are interested in attending our training for professional development, please fill out the volunteer application. We typically cap it at 5 professionals per training.
