Volunteer and Interns
CPAF views our volunteers and interns as an extension of our staff whose talents, skills, perspectives and work are vital to the achievement of our mission to build healthy and safe communities. Through their involvement in various CPAF programs, volunteers and interns establish healthy and rewarding relationships with survivors and help us to fulfill clients' specific cultural and language needs. The experience and knowledge of working with the women and their families enable volunteers to become resources to communities outside of CPAF on the issues of family violence and violence against women.
