Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers make it possible for SVS to serve tens of thousands of survivors of domestic violence each year! As a volunteer, you can help SVS in many ways. For example, volunteers assist with service projects, collect urgently needed items, making a financial donation, or acting as a domestic violence advocate.
