SafeNet's Volunteer Counselor Advocate Training Program Will be Starting Soon

Have a special talent? Like children? SafeNet has something for you. Some volunteer opportunities require some training, but provide lots of rewards. If you're interested in working directly with victims of abuse, please contact SafeNet at 455-1774 because we have counselor advocate training starting now. Whatever your talent or passion - we have an opportunity for you.

SafeNet is not a homeless shelter, but a safe and confidential place specifically for men, women and children who are victims of domestic violence.  From every city and township in the area, victims come to SafeNet seeking support, safety and shelter from physical abuse and threats of violence occurring at home.  After more than 30 years of providing shelter and many other supportive services, SafeNet knows first-hand that there is hope and there is help. SafeNet is Pennsylvania's oldest continuous running domestic violence shelter.

SafeNet is honored to have its Big Back Yard Project the chosen charity for the 2010 Roar on the Shore.

PLEASE NOTE: For interviews with SafeNet's, Executive Director or any staff member of SafeNet, contact Rick Liebel, Public Relations and Development Director at 455-1774 extension 234 or email at rliebel@safeneterie.org.
