Required Time Commitments:

Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at Thrive Survivor Support Center, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. Volunteers are integral to Thrive and play a critical role in all aspects of our organization! We appreciate the many volunteers who dedicate their skills, passion and expertise to help us support survivors of violence and the Merrimack County community.

As an Ambassador Volunteer, you will serve as representatives of Thrive during outreach, education, and fundraising events. Ambassador Volunteers play a vital role in advancing our prevention education programs and spreading our mission during community events like Market Days, Franklin Fall Fest, and Walk a Mile in Their Shoes. All Ambassadors are required to complete a short training in order to be properly prepared for potential questions/scenarios while volunteering with Thrive.

Outreach Ambassadors help Thrive build community awareness about violence and educate through prevention! Outreach is essential to our mission because it spreads the word that survivors and those who love them are not alone, it educates the community that domestic and sexual violence, stalking, and human trafficking are a community issue, and it builds a sense of Thrive as a resource to the members of our community including law enforcement and other social services.

In this role, you will talk to those interested in learning more about our mission and getting involved with Thrive. Opportunities include representing Thrive at resource tables at community events and fairs, distributing targeted outreach material in a variety of ways, gathering information for potential volunteers, donors, and other supporters, assistance with fundraising events, and more!

Skills & Experience Needed:

Education Ambassadors support our Youth Outreach Advocates with prevention and education within the community. Thrive works with high schools and higher education throughout Merrimack County. Prevention education play a unique role-there is an impact on the children, the parents, the teachers and the schools as a whole.

Skills & Experience Needed:

Fundraising Ambassadors are a vital part of the successful fundraising events that Thrive NH hosts. Activities such as event planning are great options for a shorter-term opportunity that has a substantial impact on survivors. This can include participation in large events such as Walk a Mile in Their Shoes or fundraising appeals to current constituents with our twice-yearly mail stuffing event.

Skills & Experience Needed:

Do you want to help support those who support survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Merrimack County? Do you enjoy tidying up and other basic office tasks? This opportunity may be for you! Thrive Survivor Support Center is looking to invite a volunteer to help out at our office to assist with the day to day housekeeping tasks.

Time Commitment: 5-10 hours per week during business hours (8:30am-4:30pm)

Key Responsibilities:

Clear background check and sex offender registry check needed in order to move forward. 

Given the environment of this service role, volunteer must be outside of 18-24 month timeframe of most recent activation due to past related trauma and/or 18-24 months post receiving services from Thrive NH.

Volunteer Support Group Advocate Service Description 2025

Volunteer Support Group Advocates will co-facilitate support groups for individuals impacted by domestic and sexual violence in Merrimack County. The Support Group Volunteer will work collaboratively with the direct service team and volunteer coordinator help create a safe, empowering, and supportive environment for survivors to connect, share their experiences, and foster healing.

Service Responsibilities:

Qualifications:

Time Commitment:

Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at Thrive Survivor Support Center, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. As a volunteer advocate, you will work directly with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking, providing crucial support in their strongest moments. Volunteer advocates are trained to connect the survivor to resources, assist with safety planning process, and provide emotional support to assure the client they are not alone.  

In the volunteer advocate role, you will be required to complete a 30-hour training that will prepare you to provide confidential advocacy and support. You are not required to have any previous training in crisis work, only a strong desire to help those in need of services and passion for making a difference for survivors. The 30-hour training includes self-paced modules, synchronous Zoom sessions, and an in person session to review and complete onboarding paperwork. Trainings are scheduled as needed. 

Volunteer advocates will be available on an on-call basis. Volunteering for the hotline is a remote opportunity that can be done from your home or wherever you may be, as long as you have access to a private space to provide all of your attention to the survivor.

Hotline shifts are available from 7pm-7am Mon-Sun, 7a-7p Sat-Sun, and 4p-7p Mon-Fri. While shifts are available during these times, it is not required for volunteers to sign up for the entire 12 hours.

Our population is aging rapidly, with adults aged 60 and older now outnumbering children under 18 in the Granite State. Many older adults live alone, often without family or friends nearby to help, and find themselves socially isolated. Social isolation can be detrimental to physical health, including higher risk of heart disease, dementia, and stroke.

As our population ages, we are seeing a much higher prevalence of social isolation, which SNMOW aims to tackle with the Friendly Visitor program. Friendly visitors are assigned to clients based on a variety of factors, including personality traits and similar interests and are scheduled to visit their friends up to once per week. 

This relationship is beneficial to both the client and the volunteer, giving them new connections, a greater sense of purpose, and better overall well-being.

By facilitating communication and collaboration among experts across various disciplines and the general public, the coalition aims to accelerate scientific discoveries and develop effective strategies for insect conservation and discovery.

Interested in Volunteering?

For more than one hundred years, volunteers have kept the Woodman Museum humming and vibrant.  During our 2025 season we are seeking dedicated individuals to expand our volunteer base.

Opportunities include:

·         Leadership positions and general volunteers for signature Woodman Museum events and community event tabling opportunities. (Event Volunteer)

·         Unpaid internships for mature high school/college students (Intern)

·         Individuals to tend to the Gift Shop (Gift Shop Attendant)

·         Individuals to tend to our galleries during open hours (Gallery Attendant)

·         Museum Educators who provide tours to visitors (limited availability; Museum Docent Volunteers)

Our greatest needs:  How you can help, and what’s in it for you:

Event Volunteer:  We have many events at the museum each year, and also make several appearances at community events.  We could use your help!  You might want to assist getting everything ready in the days before an event, help with setup or teardown, or help staff engage with patrons at our booth or table.  You’ll get to hang out with staff, help the community learn more about the Woodman Museum, and meet some great people!

Gift Shop Attendant:  You’ll welcome visitors, provide general information about the museum, conduct admission/merchandise/museum tour sales.  You get to be the first point of contact for museum visitors!  Some days are quite busy in the gift shop.

Gallery Attendant:  Learn the general collections of one of our museum buildings.  Over time, develop more in depth knowledge of some key pieces, and/or learn about the collections in another of our buildings.  You’ll have fun talking to people, keeping an eye on the goings on and providing some in depth knowledge to our patrons.  (You may even get some reading done on slower days.)

Your commitment: 

For an Event role, we ask that you help out at least 3-4 times per year.  These opportunities are very dependent on our event schedule, but your shift for the day of the event can be very flexible – even if you only have an hour or two, we’d love your help.

For an Attendant role, we ask that you volunteer at least two shifts per month during our museum’s open hours (at least once per month during Winter season).  Keep in mind this is an average, and we understand you may not have year round availability, and that you have other commitments – we’ll work with you on scheduling that meets our needs and works for you!  We have whole day, half day, and shorter shifts available. 

Contact us at events@woodmanmuseum.org or by phone at 603-742-7680.

Your commitment:  For an Attendant role, we ask that you volunteer at least two shifts per month during our museum’s open hours (at least once per month during Winter season).  Keep in mind this is an average, and we understand you may not have year round availability, and that you have other commitments – we’ll work with you on scheduling that meets our needs and works for you!  We have whole day, half day, and shorter shifts available. 

For an Event role, we ask that you help out at least 3-4 times per year.  These opportunities are very dependent on our event schedule, but your shift for the day of the event can be very flexible – even if you only have an hour or two, we’d love your help.

Volunteering at Camp Sunshine is truly an unforgettable and life-changing experience. Talk to any volunteer and nearly everyone will say that they get more out of Camp Sunshine than they give. The opportunity to directly help children and their families to laugh, create happy memories, and connect with other families is magical.

Since its inception in 1984, volunteers have donated in excess of one million hours of their time, and have saved Camp Sunshine millions of dollars through their donation of time and services.

Puppy raisers are responsible for providing a loving and structured home for young puppies to prepare them for future service dog work. They teach basic obedience, expose the puppy to various environments, people, and other animals, and instill good manners both at home and in public. Raisers attend training classes, follow specific training guidelines, and maintain the puppy’s health through proper diet, exercise, and veterinary care. Puppies typically stay with their raisers until they are 12-18 months old, depending on their progress, maturity, and readiness for advanced training. We also offer co-raising opportunities with a family member or friend, giving raisers a built-in puppy sitter.

Service dogs in training are allowed in many public places, so travel isn’t necessarily an issue and can be a valuable experience, depending on the puppy's age. If a puppy isn’t ready for certain travel experiences, we can provide puppy-sitting when needed. Short-term raising is also available, provided another raiser can take over when the initial commitment ends.Puppy Raising: Shaping Future Service Dogs

CASA volunteers are ordinary people who step forward to advocate in court for children in New Hampshire who have experienced abuse and neglect. Volunteers spend time getting to know the child or children they are working with and gather information from the important adults in each child’s life so they may make qualified, unbiased recommendations to a judge about what they believe to be in the best interests of the child.

Our volunteers help change a child’s story from one of abuse or neglect, to stability and security.

Volunteers:

Volunteers spend about 10-15 hours a month on their case, with more time spent in the first 90 days of the case assignment. They stay with the case until the child is in a safe, permanent home or another permanent solution is in place.

We average a minimum of 1 hour and up to 2 hours a month of communications when issues and discussions are needed.  We normally do not have a set date or time.   This can be adjusted as needed.

We are seeking individuals who are family involved and want to do what is best for our organization.

We are currently asking for a 2 year term commitment; additional years can be considered after that on a yearly basis.
