Safe+Sound Somerset seeking Domestic Violence Response Team (DVRT) Volunteers
In collaboration with local police departments in Somerset County, Safe+Sound Somerset’s DVRT volunteers provide immediate support to domestic violence survivors and information regarding the law, safety options, and available resources at the moment of crisis.
DVRT volunteers empower survivors of domestic abuse by:
- Decreasing the emotional trauma experienced by victims;
- Educating survivors about the dynamics of domestic violence; and
- Increasing survivors’ awareness of community resources and legal options available to them.
Safe+Sound Somerset is currently accepting applications from individuals interested in becoming DVRT volunteers. All applicants must pass a comprehensive criminal and motor vehicle background check and the Domestic Violence 40-hour training, including specific training components to be a DVRT volunteer.
If you are interested in becoming a DVRT Volunteer, submit a Volunteer Inquiry Form online at safe-sound.org/support/volunteer. For additional information contact sassvolunteer@safe-sound.org or (908) 359-0003, ext. 202.
