Volunteer

Our work within the community would not be possible without the involvement of passionate and generous people like yourself. Individuals and groups can partner with Safe Harbor’s programs in a variety of ways, multiplying the impact of the services and care given every day to our clients in Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, and Pickens counties.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Groups

    Tackle a large cleanup or improvement project at one of our shelters, host an event for our clients, plan and care for a garden, or organize shelter supplies. From one-time to monthly service days, the only limit is your group’s imagination!

    Shifts: varied

  • Childcare

    Give kids at our shelter a time for fun and connection, allowing their parent space to participate in support groups, meet with their advocate, or have some alone time to rest and process.

  • Facilities

    Help with ongoing upkeep, organization, and beautifying of our shelter homes both inside and outside, giving clients a safe, comfortable, and welcoming place to find peace and healing.

  • Chef's Night Off

    Provide dinner and a break from cooking for our clients by picking up or preparing a meal at home and delivering it to one of our three shelters. You can also donate funds for meals and weekly groceries.

  • Outreach

    Become a champion for the mission of Safe Harbor as you create connections in the community through tabling and networking events, helping us spread awareness about domestic abuse, services available to survivors, and ways for others to get involved.

  • Skill Classes

    Join clients on their journey as they start a new life by hosting a one-time or ongoing skill-building class, from preparing resumes or creating a financial plan, to learning English, yoga, or a new creative hobby.

  • Resale Shop

    Keep our Shop space clean and tidy or help prepare donations for the sales floor, ensuring Safe Harbor Resale Shop stays a #1 place to enjoy quality retail therapy while supporting a worthwhile cause.

  • Donation Drives

    Gather needed items for our shelters or organize a community event to raise funds for programs. Be sure to reach out before gathering so we can share our top needs for the month and best utilize our limited storage space!

  • Staff Support

    Empower staff to work at their best each day by using your administrative, research, or IT skills to update databases and program resource lists or troubleshoot our information and communications technology.
