Volunteer Job Board

Helpline volunteers are trained and work independently to offer info and support to survivors to call the Abbie Shelter Helpline. They are closely supported by staff. Volunteers are expected to maintain confidentiality, complete trainings and a background check, collect data, attend quarterly meetings, and not be actively receiving Abbie services.
