Comment on My brother wants to for Father's Day is volunteer at the local women's shelter. Not really a father but has two dogs. But is afraid to even ask because he is male. How does he go about this?

The women’s shelter likely needs volunteer work done that’s not specifically at the shelter. This would be a good way for him to volunteer.

Generally, you’re not going to find random men actually volunteering AT the shelter; that would be triggering for some of the abused women who pass through it.

Make sure he has his criminal records check up to date.

Lol I don’t know if it counts he has 6 dwi’s and 1 dui. He now is Arkansas clean, where he quit all hard alcohol and wine and not just drinks about an 8 pack a night but never gets out of control in the bad days. Hasn’t had a DWI or DUI in 6 years.

  Guy that drinks eight beers a night should not be near traumatized women.

  He’s going nowhere near a women’s shelter without a cr check.
