Become a Crisis Line Counselor or Child Advocate Volunteer through educational courses and advocacy training:

Receive 80-hours of training (and Lake Tahoe Community College credit) that qualify you to work directly with adult and child survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
Learn more about how nonprofits meet needs in our community and learn more about the resources available to assist and support local families.
Answer the 24-hour hotline during non-business hours (usually one or two week-nights per month from 4 pm - 8 am the next day). You will receive a pager and a cell phone, so you can still go about your life while taking the crisis line.
Provide support, assistance and options to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.
Look at www.ltcc.edu to register for the 80-hour training. The course is listed under "Counseling" and the course number is COU 111; this course is easily confused with another, very similar class, so please make sure that you select the course with instructors Utzig and Wagoner.

Become a Foster Parent for Pets

Provide love, support, and a safe home for dogs, cats, or other pets belonging to women and children living in our Emergency Domestic Violence Shelter Program.
Often, victims of domestic violence choose not to leave an abusive partner because they do not want to leave their pets behind, and most domestic violence shelters, like ours, cannot provide shelter for animals.
Help make sure that victims of domestic violence are not held back from seeking safety for themselves and their children due to concerns about their pets' well-being.
Please email info@sltwc.org if you are interested in signing up to be a temporary foster parent for shelter clients' pets! Please provide your name, contact information and the kind of pets for which you can provide a safe home!
