Volunteer Program

Are you interested in volunteering for The Cridge Transition House for Women (CTHW)?

Volunteers are an integral part of our team! Together with the volunteers, we work to create a supportive and trauma-informed environment for the residents at The Cridge Transition House for Women.

The volunteer tasks may include:

• Driving families to appointments
• Preparing delicious food for women and families at the House;
• Arranging and picking up donations;
• Organizing and cleaning spaces;
• Childminding and fun activities with the kids;
• Running art groups for adult residents;
• Caring for the garden;
• Grocery shopping and picking up supplies;
• Office and administrative support.

Volunteers are usually assigned a specific role, for example, a baking or childcare volunteer. However, due to the changing and flexible nature of The Cridge Transition House, volunteers may engage in various tasks. Therefore, we ask that volunteers commit to a 2-4 hour volunteer shift, once per week (days and times can be negotiated) for 3-6 months. Volunteer orientation includes in-person role-specific training and online training on domestic violence and trauma-informed interactions (with residents).
