Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way to help survivors of domestic violence and sexual harassment, abuse, and assault.  There is always a need for volunteers at Roads to Peace.  With training, you can become a certified volunteer counselor/advocate and have a profound impact on the lives of people in need.

Direct service: it is required that direct service volunteers complete a 70-hour training course that takes place twice a year.

Non-direct service volunteering: such as maintaining shelter facilities, administrative work, and participating in community events, a 1hr online confidentiality course is needed.

Direct service: it is required that direct service volunteers complete a 70-hour training course that takes place twice a year.**

**This FREE 70-hour training is required for direct service volunteers, interns, and employees and covers topics related to domestic violence and sexual assault. The training is to prepare you for working directly with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Completing this training can give you an advantage for future endeavors, since the training certificate is honored at most Domestic and Sexual Violence Centers throughout Pennsylvania.

Non-direct service volunteering: such as maintaining shelter facilities, administrative work, and participating in community events, a 1hr online confidentiality course is needed.

You Can Play an Important Role in This Process.
