About SAFE Shelter…

Safe Shelter is committed to empowering victims of physical, emotional, and sexual assault by offering information which will allow them to choose their own course of action and by supporting them as they act on those choices.

 

We are further committed to educating the public on the issues surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault so that, together, we may challenge societal attitudes which condone the use of violence as a means of maintaining power and control over another person.

 

We serve our community by offering a 24-hour crisis hotline, temporary emergency shelter, crisis intervention, follow-up services, information and referral services, peer support groups, therapeutic support groups, emergency financial assistance, an extensive court advocacy program, a children’s advocacy program, and prevention and education programs for high school and college students.  All of our services are provided free of charge.

 

Safe Shelter Volunteers are a necessary and invaluable key to our operations. They are primarily responsible for staffing the 24-hour crisis hotline during non-business hours. They go through approximately 30 hours of training in which they will receive valuable knowledge and information that will prepare them for volunteer advocacy.  Members of Safe Shelter staff will work with each trainee to make sure they feel comfortable, knowledgeable and ready to volunteer at the end of the training session.  We ask all volunteers to commit to one shift per month for at least one year.

You can make a difference one life at a time.  Together we can offer hope to people suffering with Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Sexual Violence.
