The CARE Program is seeking volunteers
The Capital Area Response Effort (CARE) is a post-arrest response team for survivors of domestic violence. The CARE staff and volunteers offer crisis intervention and community resources to those who have experienced a domestic assault in Lansing , Lansing Township , Meridian Township , East Lansing and on the campus of Michigan State University .
Volunteers always go out on calls in pairs, after an assailant has been arrested.
The next training will be held the weekend of September 15-18, 2011.
What does CARE have to offer you?
The CARE Program has many opportunities for volunteers. You can:
* Become more involved in your community
* Learn or enhance your crisis intervention techniques
* Build your knowledge of the legal system and other community resources
* Take a stand against domestic violence
Am I what CARE needs?
CARE volunteers are a diverse group of people with some key characteristics. A volunteer would tend to describe themselves as a people person, a good listener, a team player, reliable, and as someone who is interested in social justice.
