WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT? We realize that volunteers have lives outside of Mountain Peace Shelter. For that reason we are flexible and will work around your schedule and the time you are able to give. We only ask that new volunteers commit to one year of service with the organization.
WHAT ABOUT TRAINING? All trainings are free!!! All volunteers are required to go through a 20-hour training course on the fundamentals of domestic violence. Volunteers receive continuing training through monthly in-services. Client Support volunteers are strongly encouraged to attend monthly in-services and are required to attend the quarterly crisis line training at least once before answering the crisis line. Volunteers also receive regular announcements about other valuable trainings they may attend.
