Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania: 9/14/24 is our kick-off of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). DVAM lasts through the end of October so this volunteer opportunity is available until 10/31/24.
- October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and DVSSP is looking for assistance in spreading the word. Signs and bows will need to be distributed across the county. To do this, volunteers would need to collect signs and bows from one of our advocates and then visit local businesses, community members, religious institutions, storefronts, etc. to see if the people would be willing to put up signs and bows. Volunteers can also ask these same places if they are interested in DVSSP sending a speaker to them for Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
