RAVEN volunteers are individuals who are committed to ending men’s violence against women. They may include former program participants, women’s advocates, social service professionals, students, retired persons, or anyone looking to give back to the community.

RAVEN offers individuals the opportunity to gain hands on experience working directly with men in a group or individual setting.  It is a chance to not only enhance one’s résumé, but is also a great way to gain knowledge and skill. And, we offer flexible opportunities for hours – daytime, evenings & weekends!

Someone who is interested in becoming a volunteer with RAVEN will start by participating in our training program.  We offer extensive training on various domestic violence topics as well as practical information on facilitating group sessions, interviewing, and program development.  Training sessions are held in January, May, and August, and include attending the Missouri Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence (MCADSV) training.   

Volunteer opportunities can be tailored to meet the needs of individual volunteers.  If you are someone who is committed to ending violence in your community, please contact our office at 314-289-8000 today to start making a difference!
