Join Our Team

It is Friendship Home’s vision that someday the need for our services will cease to exist, that domestic violence will not be tolerated by anyone in the community, and that all homes will be places of love, support and safety.

We envision a community that embraces any survivor or child who experiences domestic violence. As neighbors and friends, we join together in our commitment to them by taking bold action to affect change

Listening: We value the hopes, dreams, fears and concerns of the survivors we serve. That means that our role is to listen…really listen as they explore their newly found freedom and discover the next steps on their journeys.

Empowerment: We support the journeys of survivors and their children. We value an environment that enables them to understand their strengths and to discover the power within. To do this we must creatively adapt our approach, programs and services to meet each individual’s unique needs.

Accountability: We believe that we are not powerless against violence and that breaking the cycle is possible.

Relationships: We support the personal connections and meaningful relationships between survivors and the people who care about them. We value the unique relationship between parent and child and embrace families in shelter with loving support.

Safety & Confidentiality: We believe that no survivors or child should live in fear of domestic violence. We respect survivors’ right to privacy and we strive to make it possible for them to pursue their aspirations without intimidation, violence, or control.

Collaboration: We value the joint efforts of a community that pools resources, talents, and ideas to help survivors of domestic violence and to change the cultural attitudes that have created it.
