Volunteer

Volunteer

Volunteers make priceless contributions that support those who have been directly affected by sex trafficking in Northeast Ohio. Many volunteers work behind the scenes by contributing in regular or occasional ways to support the ministry. Others make a dedicated commitment to work directly with women on a regular basis as a living model of Christ’s love.

We are deeply grateful for each person and organization that volunteers with RAHAB to shine the light of Jesus into the darkest places.

Indirect Volunteer Support

Paperwork is required prior to serving.

  • Prayer teams – any area
  • Meal teams – Drop-In Homes, Selah’s Place, and Strip Outreach
  • Weekly/bi-weekly cleaning team – Selah’s Place
  • Maintenance, lawn care – Drop-In Homes
Ongoing Direct Care Volunteer Support

Direct care volunteers work directly with our clients to provide Christ-centered transformational services.  Volunteers build strong transformational relationships with traumatized women, which can be beautiful but heavy work that requires a commitment to regular service. We encourage you to prayerfully consider if God is calling you to this deep level of service. Paperwork and training are required prior to serving.

    Volunteer Application

    No matter how you would like to volunteer, there will be steps to complete first. For those serving behind the scenes, there will be some paperwork and scheduling to complete to ensure you have the best impact. To serve directly with our clients, there will be paperwork, a background check, and various trainings that will prepare you to work with traumatized individuals.

    No matter how you would like to volunteer, please start by completing a volunteer application. A RAHAB staff member will be in touch afterward with the next steps for you!

    Human Trafficking 101

    Duration: 1 Hour

    What it is: HT 101 is an essential teaching on the realities of human trafficking. In this course, we will illuminate the issues of sex trafficking, explain a generalized process for how someone becomes involved in trafficking, and provide practical insight of how trafficking takes place. We will also highlight what we know about traffickers, how someone becomes vulnerable to trafficking, and how demand for commercial sex fuels sex trafficking. By the end of this course, you will be able to articulate the needs and vulnerabilities of trafficking survivors and have knowledge of practical solutions

    Who it is for: This course is offered to all members of the community who would like to understand human trafficking and is required for all of RAHAB’s volunteers and staff.
