Wanted: Volunteer advocate

To The Eagle:

Volunteers truly do make a difference at The Charlotte House, a program of St. James Family Center.

Have you ever had someone stick up for you? Not someone who came over and bossed you around – but someone who was there at just the right moment when you needed help and offered a listening ear. Putting it simply, that’s what we do as advocates at The Charlotte House.

Making a difference in the lives of victims, survivors and their families is the best reason to give your time to our program. Our trained advocates are available 24/7/365 to talk confidentially with anyone experiencing domestic violence, seeking resources, or information, or questioning unhealthy aspects of their relationship. Our advocacy program helps ensure that someone is available to answer what might be the most important call of a victim’s life.

The Charlotte House staff provides all necessary training and support. If you think you might be interested, but have questions, please call us. We’d love to talk with you about our programs!

All volunteers must be 21 years of age and live in Wahkiakum County.

If you are concerned about your relationship or know someone that might be in an unhealthy relationship, call us, 360-795-6401 or toll free 1-866-795-9381. We can help.

All services are free and confidential.
