The Board of Directors and staff members of Madeline's House appreciate those donating the most precious gift...their time. Below is a list of volunteer positions for you to consider. If you want to do something that is not on the list, feel free to discuss your idea with us.
Do you have a passion for preventing domestic violence? Have you always been a supporter or an advocate for victims of domestic violence? Or, would you like to help educate the community about domestic violence and sexual assault issues?
Some of our volunteers come every week and some come only as their schedules allow. Some of our volunteers come with groups of people; others come alone. Some prefer to work here at the shelter; others prefer to work at off-site events. Whatever your circumstance, if you would like to help , we will be most appreciative.
