Volunteers

To extend our capacity to deliver family domestic violence services and to keep true to our mission Diamond Life United Services Inc. is a place where volunteers not only do the very important work of providing services to those affected by family violence and child abuse, but they also plan and shape the work of the agency. Here at Diamond Life, volunteers are empowered and encouraged to grow, give and learn.

Diamond Life Commitment

Volunteers are the center of Diamond Life United Services Inc. We recognize the needs and expectations of volunteers and the many barriers individuals must overcome to volunteer. We are committed to a supportive relationship with volunteers which includes:

  • Assuring a placement that fits a volunteers skills, interests and expectations;

  • Offering appropriate training support and supervision;

  • Periodically evaluating goals and placement;

  • Offering continued education for volunteers;

  • Providing a positive environment for volunteers, staff and those using our services;

Maintaining a truly multicultural environment where people from diverse backgrounds and experiences will be comfortable, where the voices that traditionally have been silenced in our society will be present; and where people from diverse communities will feel safe receiving services; exploring continuously any individual and institutional oppression as it relates to violence.
