Volunteering With Safe Haven of Person County:

Safe Haven of Person County welcomes dedicated, community-minded individuals who are committed to supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Volunteer service is an important part of our mission; however, because our work involves sensitive information and survivor safety, all volunteers must complete a formal screening and training process before placement.

​

Volunteer Eligibility and Expectations:

Volunteers are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and respect. Volunteer roles may vary based on agency needs and volunteer availability.

​

Volunteer Application Process:

To be considered for volunteer service, applicants must complete the steps below:

1. Submit a Volunteer Application
   All prospective volunteers must complete and submit the Volunteer Application in full. Applications are reviewed by agency staff to determine eligibility and fit based on current program needs.

2. Complete a Comprehensive Background Check
