Raphael House of Portland
Ending domestic violence through gender-inclusive services and prevention education.

Raphael House serves over 3,700 domestic violence survivors and community members each year — helping families end the cycle of violence and achieve long-term safety and stability, while preventing future abuse through high school-based education.

What We Do

Raphael House is creating a future without domestic violence. Since 1977, our 24/7 emergency services — including confidential shelter and hotline — support families in imminent danger after fleeing abuse. Meanwhile, our ongoing services — focused on safe housing, financial empowerment, addiction recovery and holistic wellness — are a long-term resource. We couple these with Prevention Education in Portland Public high schools, teaching youth about equitable relationships and consent, while providing them confidential support.

What We Need
  • Caring for People
  • Cleaning
  • Collecting/Sorting/Packaging
  • Fundraising/Campaigning
  • Hotline/Information Center Support
  • Mentoring/Youth Development

Opportunities
  • In person: One-time
  • In person: Ongoing

Domestic violence impacts everyone in one way or another, but violence is not inevitable. We know a world free from abuse is not only possible, but is something we can grow right now. Volunteers at Raphael House get to make a meaningful difference in survivors' journeys, offering connection, support and safety, whether volunteering in our shelter, on our 24/7 hotline, in our youth programs or behind the scenes.
