Volunteer Availability and Commitment
METRAC's office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. However, meetings, special events, and trainings are often held outside of normal hours of operation. We work with volunteers to determine the best day and time for their activities.

Guiding Vision
METRAC is a community-based, not-for-profit violence prevention organization. We work from a feminist anti-oppression, non-discriminatory framework. Volunteers should be open to and comfortable learning about and working within this framework during their training period and volunteer placement.

Note: METRAC welcomes applications from diverse people, especially members of historically marginalized communities. Unfortunately, METRAC's office space is currently not wheelchair accessible.
