VOLUNTEER & INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Be a Volunteer...

Some of the most valuable resources that we have are our many volunteers. Volunteers play a key role in our day-to-day operation. There are many volunteer opportunities available, and all training is provided to interested persons. Our volunteers provide both direct and indirect services. Some opportunities available to direct service volunteers include answering our crisis line and providing shelter monitoring. Indirect services include doing office work such as copying, typing, and various other things. We also have volunteers who organize and promote fund-raisers and/or special events in the community.

 
How Can I Become a Volunteer?

FCC volunteers are generally 18 years of age or older. All volunteers are required to follow strict rules of confidentiality. Potential volunteers are asked to fill out a volunteer application and set a time for an interview. All volunteers who assist with direct services are required to complete three 8 hour trainings which are provided by FCC.

 

Internship Opportunities

FCC also provides internships for human service related fields of study. Our interns have an interest in increasing their knowledge of domestic violence and sexual assault. When interning with our agency, participants will gain valuable job experience, develop new skills, and build a resume. Interns also make valuable personal and professional contacts within the service community. All interns receive the three 8 hour trainings specific to working with victims and survivors of abuse. Interns provide both direct and indirect services. If you are interested in interviewing for an intern position, please contact our agency.
