Volunteers are essential to accomplish our mission of preventing and eliminating all types of sexual and intimate partner violence within the Northern Neck and Essex County. The Haven could not provide free, vital services to individuals who have experienced violence without the hard work and effort of volunteers like you!

 

The Haven is extremely appreciative of all our volunteers! Visit the links below to learn more about how you can make a difference through donating your time to The Haven.

All volunteers for The Haven are required to agree to searches of the Central Registry for the Virginia Department of Social Services/Child Protective Services and Criminal History Records of the Virginia State Police. The Haven will pay the fees required for these searches.

 

Note: Minors are not required to complete a background check, however, The Haven asks that minors have their parent/guardian accompany them to the in-person interview to fill out the necessary paperwork.

A brief orientation is offered to all volunteers before starting their tasks.
