LifeWay Network looking for long-term volunteers:
LifeWay currently has long-term volunteer opportunities open! This is for live-in host community members to support and accompany women survivor of human trafficking. Read on to find out more!
New York City alone has reported nearly 2,000 cases of sex and labor trafficking in the past 10 years. LifeWay Network’s Safe Housing Program is the only program in the New York metro area providing safe housing specifically for women survivors of labor or sex trafficking, who are domestic and foreign-born survivors.
When a woman arrives, she is welcomed into a supportive, caring environment that helps her continue along that journey through life enrichment, social services, and community life. The Host Community member is an integral member of the community to provide a safe haven and has the unique opportunity to interact and live with the residents long-term, contributing to the relaxed and home-like atmosphere in the house and providing a willing ear when a resident needs one.
If you would like to learn more about this opportunity for community living in early 2020, please fill out our Host Community Application and email any questions to Volunteers@lifewaynetwork.org to be part of the discernment process!
