Volunteers are a critical part of the day-to-day functioning of our organization, performing a variety of tasks such as direct work with women and children, hotline advocacy, administrative work, maintenance projects and much more. If you would like to work directly with survivors and their children, No Girl Left Behind has four programs in which you can do so. All of these programs involve crisis intervention, which includes providing emotional support and advocacy, engaging in safety planning and sharing information about domestic violence and sexual assault.

In addition, volunteers are encouraged to participate in No Girl Left Behind's Community Education and Outreach. There are many ways you can devote your time to making a difference for your neighbors.
