Date of Training: 12/15/2008 : Shelter Activities Volunteer Group : The Shelter Volunteer’s Orientation is mandatory for anyone considering a role in planning & offering Shelter Activities/ Programs, while an ICDVA 40 Hr trained advocate must be on hand at all times. While this is directed to volunteers wishing to become involved with our clients, this is also a very good summary presentation for understanding the victims of Domestic Violence and what we do here. Our vision for the S.A.V. group is a committe of regular female volunteers – who would provide services and / or help plan stuff for the shelter folks, such as, cooking for the shelter clients (to give them a break), a ‘game night’ (weekends can get boring when you can’t afford to get out), bring and provide craft making time, lead a yoga class or art class, offer beauty services, etc. Mission: To provide greater outreach opportunities for FEMALE volunteers to bring more varied programs, services and diversions to the abuse survivors we serve.
