The Safe Haven Family Visitation Center is a newly created program that serves families who have a history of family conflict or domestic violence. It is a program that allows for children to visit with their non-custodial parent in a safe environment. The interactions are supervised by a trained visit monitor. Volunteers are needed in various capacities such as clerical office assistance, website development, administering surveys, researching/ collecting statistics, coordinating fundraising events and decorating the center site.
