My Nonprofit Reviews

Before volunteering at DASH, I lived in my own bubble and was not aware of the seriousness of domestic violence and sexual abuse and how women (along with their children) who were victims, suffered . DASH educated me through from their volunteering orientation about domestic violence, in addition to the services that DASH offers to women and their families to help them recover from their traumatic experiences. I was shocked about the statistics on domestic violence and sexual abuse, however, a part of that shock was offset because of what I learned about DASH's impact on the community. In just 2013 alone, DASH housed 94 women and 131 children in addition to providing over 80,000 safe-nights for victims. Imagine being abused and oppressed, living in fear and having no voice or no where to run to -- it's frightening. Well, this is what makes DASH such a rewarding place to volunteer because DASH gives women a place to escape, to feel safe.

Furthermore, what I have really enjoyed about volunteering at DASH is how well the organization is structured. Everything is well-run and all of the staff are always on top of everything. The organization is constantly active with programs that help the residents and there is always something for everyone to do. I would definitely recommend this organization to anyone looking for a place to work, volunteer or support.
