The Family Justice Center offers many different volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups interested in getting involved.

- Hospitality Volunteers: Hospitality Volunteers create a welcoming environment for new clients by initially greeting them in the Front Porch and assisting them through the intake process.
- Chaplains:Chaplains provide spiritual support and discuss any spiritual questions or difficulties with clients, especially struggles with suffering, the marriage covenant or other faith related issues.
- Clerical Support: Clerical Support Volunteers assist staff in reception, clerical, or other office duties
What do Family Justice Center volunteers say about their service?
“It was rewarding to do intakes and know that I was partly responsible for clients getting help.
“It made me more aware of the prevalence of domestic violence and the effects it has on children – how they are often the forgotten victims.”
“It makes me feel good to know the little things I do help change a person’s life.”
“I will never forget my time at the Family Justice Center. It has changed my opinion of domestic violence.”
