JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO END DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE
RAVE-I/.M, Inc. relies heavily on the time, talent and generosity given to us by volunteers. We have a long, rich history founded on volunteers and we salute those who have come before you and welcome you to join our mission. RAVE-I/m, Inc. provides free and confidential services to women, men, and children who have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. These services range from a women and children’s shelter to individual and group counseling services. Without the assistance of volunteers, we would not be able to provide some key services to people who need them. Contact Alexis, our Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator at [email protected] / 616-699-5443 to learn more.
