Ever thought of volunteering for
a good cause?
Manavi is a New Jersey based, non-profit
organization for South Asian women, working on issues of violence
against women. We provide services to women who have experienced
violence in their lives as well as work in the community in
an effort to bring about social change. Some of our programs
include - individual advocacy/counseling, legal clinic and
legal referrals, transitional housing, support group, outreach
and education, fundraising and grantwriting. Both Manavi staff
and volunteers contribute to the daily functioning of Manavi.
Some Manavi programs/activities that you
can volunteer for are as follows:
- Supportive Counseling/Advocacy
(Specific requirements must be met in order to become
a counselor/ advocate)
- Transitional Home
- Transportation/Accompaniment
- Childcare
- Outreach/Community Events
- Newsletter/Publications
- Translation/Interpretation
- Fundraising
- Office Support
- Technical Support/Help Desk
We require that everyone who is interested
in becoming a Manavi volunteer attend an orientation
program before they start volunteering. The orientation
session is held twice a year and it gives participants
an opportunity to learn about Manavi's philosophy and
values, apart from giving them a detailed idea about Manavi
programs.
We constantly invest our energies
into maintaining and improving Manavi's volunteer program,
in order for it to function effectively. Towards the same
end, we expect a level of commitment from our volunteers as
well. Because we believe in building relationships with our
volunteers, we expect at least a six-month commitment
from them.
We hope that volunteering with Manavi
will be a fulfilling and enriching experience for you!
