Job Description
Job Title: Community Support Advocate

Schedule : FT, 40 hours/week onsite

Who We Are
Our mission is to end domestic violence in the moment and for all time.
In 1971, our founder Bea Robinson Mendez, concerned about the lack of services and options for domestic violence survivors, gathered a small group of her friends to figure out a solution. They set up a shelter in a garage and established a hotline number to provide information and support to survivors. Unbeknownst to them, it would become the second domestic violence agency in California and the first bilingual domestic violence shelter in the nation. So began the story of Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence (NDS). Domestic violence is the most prevalent form of gender-based violence, often the most frequently reported crime and arguably the one with the greatest damaging effect on our families, youth, and communities. We are the only stand-alone, domestic violence agency in Santa Clara County, answering approximately 15,000 crisis calls and serving an average of 3,000 survivors of domestic violence annually. Our comprehensive, compassionate, bilingual and multicultural services are available free of charge to all individuals across the gender spectrum and of varying abilities.
Culture and Climate
NDS has developed a supportive workplace culture where personal and professional connections are valued and facilitated. Our guiding values are:
· Oneness & Connectedness
· Survivor & Community Centered
· Compassionate Accountability
· Equity & Justice
· Inclusion for Liberation
