Be A FAMILY Hotline Volunteer
High on the
short-list of really good choices I’ve made is the decision to volunteer
at FAMILY... Other volunteers have said they chose to volunteer because
the wanted to give back, be useful, help battered women, or improve
their karma. Whatever. All of that motivated me but my satisfaction is
the rush of feeling better that comes when I make someone else feel
better... No way would I leave FAMILY.
- Kiki, FAMILY Hotline Volunteer
FAMILY’s Volunteer
Training is offered during the year at each of the Hotline/Walk-In
Centers.
The training
introduces a host of community resources, both within and outside of the
FAMILY organization. But it is the power of listening that takes center
stage in the training experience. People often say that the FAMILY
Volunteer Training transformed their lives: they learned to communicate
with their wives or children; they really came to understand how
difficult life is for so many of their neighbors; they felt the power of
realizing they can make a difference in someone else’s life.
Call the
Walk-In Center nearest you for information.
