Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in being a voice for change by volunteering
at Jane Doe Inc.
Due to the nature of our work at the Coalition level, most meetings and
volunteer activities take place on weekdays during regular business hours.
If you’re interested in volunteering on a more regular basis,
or during evening or weekend hours, we encourage you to contact one of
the Coalition’s domestic violence and sexual assault member
organizations throughout Massachusetts. To find an organization in
