Volunteering at The Brewster Center
The Purple Ribbon Ambassador Volunteering Program is for those unique and talented individuals who enjoy diversity, communities, children and challenges. Volunteers who apply for this opportunity should certainly believe that knowledge is power and that they are adamant in changing and improving the environment. The Ambassador feels the satisfaction of being an integral part of a movement that is involved in the social lift of a community.
The Purple Ribbon is a symbolic representation of the struggle to end domestic violence. It represents the victims and survivors of domestic violence and gives hope the struggle and dedication of uplifting the society. The Purple Ribbon Ambassador will be responsible for the distribution of the written information to the public locations that agree to display. One of the benefits of becoming a Purple Ribbon Ambassador is that there's no specific timing associated with performing the job duties. You have the choice of deciding the days, hours and the location of distributing the material. The distribution of material has played an important part in marketing the Brewster Center. Many victims/ survivors have told us that they heard about help from a pamphlet or poster. Let's all went together and communicate the benefits of Brewster Center to the entire Pima County!
