Volunteers contribute such a valuable service to The Lighthouse Shelter.  The dedication of our volunteers makes the services possible and has a positive impact on our community. 

Volunteers have a rare opportunity to bring compassion and hope to women and children who are escaping violence.  The time a volunteer spends listening or making themselves available to a resident gives her a sense of comfort knowing someone truly cares.  Volunteers sometimes say they came to help and to give back, but were touched and changed themselves by those they met.

If you are interested in becoming volunteer, The Lighthouse Staff is ready to assist you.  If you come with the willingness to make a difference in someone's life... we are willing to help you get there. 

After completing a Volunteer Application, we will give you the tools and training you need to provide the best service possible to our residents.  In order to provide direct services, each volunteer undergoes a routine criminal and child abuse background check and also takes part in our special Volunteer Training Program.  As a part of the program, we give you a Volunteer Training Manual with valuable information that you can use when you are at The Lighthouse.  We also offer ongoing training sessions just for our volunteers.

After successfully completing the Volunteer Program, you will become certified as a Lighthouse Volunteer.
