The Family Resource Center needs men to serve as positive role models for young boys and to monitor the progress of participants in and graduates of the Men Terminating Violence Program.
Michal Rhymer, executive director of the Family Resource Center, said budget cuts resulting in a $50,000 deficit have created an even greater need for community volunteers to keep many of the programs running, according to the Daily News.
The center's services include counseling for victims of abuse and domestic violence (many of whom are young boys), a 24-hour Emergency Response Line, an emergency shelter and the Men Terminating Violence Program.
Rhymer said five men now volunteer regularly and many more are needed. The center also needs bilingual volunteers due to the increasing number of Spanish-speaking clients.
To volunteer call 776-3966.
