Volunteering at EFC is a meaningful and rewarding endeavor, one that we prepare you well for with training and support. Anyone – staff or volunteer – who works with people who come to us for help must first be trained and supervised as a domestic violence/rape crisis counselor. Depending on how you will be volunteering, this may include completing a comprehensive training in order to protect the confidentiality of our clients and ensure quality services.

Volunteers fill a wide range of roles at EFC, taking advantage of the many skills they bring with them. In the past, EFC volunteers have cooked meals for shelter guests, worked in our Money School financial empowerment program, hosted supply drives, served as interpreters, helped plan fundraising events, and joined us for our annual community walks. Whatever you have to offer, there’s a good chance we can put your energy to use.
