April 2021 Volunteers
This month, we celebrated all of our volunteers at our first annual AVLF All Star Awards! You can watch the video here.
From representing survivors of intimate partner abuse to serving as a child’s Guardian ad Litem, our Safe & Stable Families volunteers make a world of different in our clients’ lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support!
