• Childcare (Monday and Wednesday evenings)
• Children’s after school program and tutoring (Monday through Thursday 4:00 – 6:00pm)

Direct Service Requirements:

If volunteers desire to work with children or women, they must complete Joint Orientation Training, hosted by St. Louis Eliminating Violence Against Women Network (SLEVAWN). Lydia’s House partners with SLEVAWN to host training sessions in January, June and August. Training must be completed before volunteers are allowed to participate in direct- service with our residents. Direct service volunteers must show proof of completion for all three training sessions.  The training is held after business hours at Maryville University.
