Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way to help survivors of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault, as well as, domestic violence.  There is always a need for volunteers at Roads to Peace.  With training, you can become a certified volunteer counselor/advocate and have a profound impact on the lives of people in need.

Direct service: it is required that direct service volunteers complete a 70-hour training course that takes place twice a year.

Non-direct service volunteering: such as maintaining shelter facilities, being on the Board of Directors, administrative work, and participating in community events, a 1-hr online confidentiality course is needed.

You can get a volunteer application here.

Associates are eligible to request matching grants from PayPal Giving Fund, a donor advised fund, for eligible hours up to 100 hours per fiscal year…

Useful Information!

                                                                Direct service and non-direct service opportunities are available:  

Direct service: it is required that direct service volunteers complete a 70-hour training course that takes place twice a year.**

**This FREE 70-hour training is required for direct service volunteers, interns, and employees and covers topics related to sexual assault and domestic violence. The training is to prepare you for working directly with survivors of sexual and domestic violence. Completing this training can give you an advantage for future endeavors, since the training certificate is honored at most Dual (Sexual Violence & Domestic Violence) Centers throughout Pennsylvania.

Non-direct service volunteering: such as maintaining shelter facilities, being on the Board of Directors, administrative work, and participating in community events, a 1-hr online confidentiality course is needed.
