I was a volunteer at this organization for just over 5 years and although it does offer a lot of services for women, victims, and children, the management leaves a lot to be desired. Volunteer are often made to feel bad if they don't cover as many shifts as the supervisor feels they should, despite the fact that there is no minimum and because they are volunteers, it is largely dependent on when they have time to commit to covering shifts. There has also been a strong push recently to appease law enforcement and outside medical professionals, often at the expense of the client and is done in such a way that the volunteers are forced to be mediators in some very sticky situations. Trying to address these issues with higher ups was a waste of time, as they don't want to know what issues are present nor seem to have any intention of dealing with them properly, if at all.
