Domestic Violence Advocates Needed In South Brunswick

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — The South Brunswick Township Domestic Violence Response Team, in collaboration with Women Aware, is seeking applicants to join the team of volunteer domestic violence advocates.

The team, which assists the South Brunswick Police Department, serves on an on-call basis. Members are usually called out only a few times each month. The advocates help individuals affected by domestic violence by providing emotional support, information on options, resources, and services available. They also help in developing a safety plan.

The team is currently comprised of three members. They are looking for more members to help provide greater assistance to the community.

Applicants will be subject to a background check, fingerprinting, and an interview process. Chosen applicants must complete a 40-hour training session provided by Women Aware.
