Crisis line volunteers enable Ahimsa House to operate a 24-hour crisis line for victims of domestic violence. Volunteers are trained to feel confident answering calls from victims in need of Ahimsa House services or those of other community organizations.

By serving as an Ahimsa House crisis line volunteer, you will guide victims of domestic violence toward personal safety and that of their pet(s). You will also assist callers by identifying helpful resources in the community that can help meet their needs outside of those provided by Ahimsa House’s program. After submitting the application below and attending the mandatory 10-hour crisis line volunteer training, you will select shifts around your schedule to serve Ahimsa House clients in the most direct volunteer opportunity available.
