Lauren IH
Review for Independence House, Inc., Hyannis, MA, USA
It's hard to believe that I have been involved with Independence House (IH) for nearly 30 years since moving to Cape Cod in 1991! At that time, I was researching a non profit that spoke to my heart of supporting non violence and assisting Victims of Sexual and Domestic Violence and and their families! I started out first as a Volunteer and Fundraiser, then became a Staff member in Development for 3 years and since then have served as a Board Volunteer and have been President of The Board of Directors for 2 terms. My positive experiences with IH are too numerous to mention. The Executive Director is a powerhouse! The Staff are extremely educated and hardworking! Our Board members and many other community Volunteers are dedicated and Mission Driven! On every level, this is a highly professionally run and fiscally responsible organization that has provided critical services and programs for hundreds of thousands of clients and their families since it opened in 1979. I have been to countless IH events and heard amazing speeches from many Survivors of their incredible stories of survival and hope after receiving services from IH. I'd also like to add that IH is inclusive, diverse and does not discriminate against anyone!
Personally, I have chaired several committees on their Board of Directors and plan to continue my volunteer support and work efforts toward this excellent organization...because truly Everyone Has a Right to a Life without Violence!
