Volunteers are an integral part of any nonprofit organizations’ client services, community relations and governance. We recognize in today’s climate that volunteers increasingly expect to be included in meaningful work that is clearly focused on Turning Pointe’s mission. The Staff and Board of Directors are committed to include volunteers in program work whenever possible focusing on each person’s talents, abilities and goals.

Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Turning Pointe has a number of volunteer opportunities ranging from administrative office work, to fundraising events, and crisis intervention. We would be happy to find a commitment that fits your schedule and area of interest!

Volunteer opportunities at Turning Pointe are generally divided into two main categories: indirect-service opportunities and direct-service opportunities.

Indirect-service volunteer positions support the agency at a staff or program level without bringing you into direct contact with survivors of domestic violence; they generally do not require any special training and can be short-term or long-term commitments. Examples of indirect-service volunteer opportunities include:

• Office assistance
• Fundraising or event support
• PR and communications
• Board & committee membership
• Gardening, organizing or cleaning at the shelter
• Shelter and building maintenance

Direct-service volunteer positions involve working directly with survivors of domestic violence or their children. Direct-service volunteers will need to complete a minimum of 20 hours of initial basic training. These trainings are offered by Turning Pointe at certain times of the year. For more information about the training required to volunteer in this capacity, please contact Terresa Morris, Program Coordinator, at terresa@qwestoffice.net or 360 426-1216. Examples of direct-service volunteer opportunities include:

• Answering Turning Pointe’s crisis line
• Facilitating survivor support groups
• Working with survivors in Turning Pointe’s programs
• Court advocacy
