Have you ever thought about volunteering for SWiC? SWiC was founded in 1983 by all volunteers and has relied heavily on volunteers ever since.

Volunteers help SWiC in two capacities – as direct service and as indirect service.

Direct service volunteers work directly with our clients and must complete the state-mandated 45-hour training. Examples of direct service volunteering include answering hotline, assisting victims in SWiC’s courthouse office, providing shelter coverage, helping at activities and programs for shelter and transitional housing residents, etc. Direct service volunteers can also help in an indirect capacity as well.

Indirect service volunteers do not need to complete the training and can volunteer in ways that do not involve direct contact with clients, such as at fundraisers, tables in malls and other public events, stuffing envelopes and other clerical assistance, etc.

Anyone interested in SWiC’s volunteer training sessions, contact Mary Jo at 570.622.3991 or swicmedadv@comcast.net.

Are you looking for a speaker at an event or
trying to inform your staff, students, co-workers, or families
about the dangers of domestic violence and dating violence?

and Volunteer Coordinator, to present accurate and up-to-date
information about domestic violence, safety planning, SWiC

bridges between SWiC and the faith community to enhance safety
and better serve survivors in our community. If interested,
