DVRP encourages interested individuals to become volunteers. As a volunteer, you can participate in any of our committees or use your specific skills, such as accounting or graphic design, to help with our work.

To be a DVRP volunteer or bilingual advocate you need to participate in a 40+ hour advocates training, which DVRP offers twice a year.
Volunteer advocates work mainly with English-speaking survivors and are not required to provide services during regular business hours.
Bilingual advocates work with limited English proficient survivors and are required to be available on an on-call basis during regular business hours. Our advocates work with survivors by providing social service support, which encompasses activities like peer counseling, accompaniment to court, and interpretation assistance.

DVRP needs your help!
DVRP's Advocates Program provides training for community members to become bilingual advocates for survivors of domestic violence. Bilingual advocates work one-on-one with survivors to provide peer support, information on legal, social service and health resources, translation and interpretation services, safety planning and risk assessment, and more. Bilingual advocates will be dedicating five full weekends to go through an intensive training starting April 24th. Please support DVRP's bilingual advocates in making a difference in the Asian Pacific American community.
DVRP's Community Outreach Program trains Community Outreach Volunteers to help spread the word about DVRP's services into the many difference API communities in DC/MD/VA. And every summer, DVRP holds a Community Leader's Institute designed for API leaders who want to learn more about domestic violence and become a resource in their community. With your help, we can effectively respond to domestic violence and create healthy and safe communities and families.
$100 will cover the cost of meals and training manuals for one participant in the Advocates Program.
$50 will cover the cost of meals for one participant over five weekends (9 days) of training in the Advocates Program.
$25 will cover the cost of meals and training manuals for one Community Outreach Volunteer or Community Leader's Institute participant.
