Volunteer Opportunities

The Crisis Line is a service of The Parent-Child Center. It operates as a 24-hour telephone service for emergency and non-emergency situations. The Crisis Line is run by a group of volunteers that answer calls after hours. It was designed to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault & child abuse.

The Purple Door is a non-profit thrift store that is a supportive entity for programming at The Parent-Child Center.  We need help sorting clothes, stocking the store, and would love to have help running the store so that we can keep our main focus on helping our clients. This is a nonpaid position, but we can offer credit in the store for hours worked. 

Please see the Get Involved page for more information on volunteering.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Non-Discrimination and Confidentiality Policy for service users

 

As a part of the process of making organizations more inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) people, it is essential that non-discrimination and anti-harassment policies include language specifically addressing sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. By promoting an open, accepting environment with employment as well as service outreach and delivery practices, the organization commitment to serve those in need without prejudice is affirmed.

As part of its commitment to provide services to those in need without discrimination or harassment, Parent-Child Center promotes an environment that is accepting and encouraging to transgender service users. Service users identifying as transgender shall receive support and accommodation from Parent-Child Center in determining their needs. Pronouns used and clothing provided shall reflect the gender with which the survivor identifies, and confidentiality shall be respected in regards to disclosures concerning transgender status, medical history or sexual orientation.

Parent-Child Center seeks to provide a supportive environment for LGBTQ employees and service users by treating with respect those persons who are open about their sexual orientation or gender identity. Parent-Child Center also recognizes that some people might not wish to share this information with fellow employees, services users, or others involved in the organization and is equally dedicated to respecting the confidentiality of those persons. Employees, volunteers, and other individuals involved in the operation of PCC will never reveal sensitive information about an individual’s sexual orientation or gender identity without the person's express written consent. Those in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary action as detailed in Parent-Child Center’s policies.
