Overall Experience
This organization has taught me about domestic violence and advocacy through its extensive volunteer training, devoted staff and volunteers, and through its dedication toward creating change in the community. I appreciate all the growth I have seen in myself and the growth I have seen in the individuals served by New Beginnings.
