Volunteer Speakers' Bureau

The Megan Montgomery Foundation Speakers’ Bureau is a free resource that provides community groups with engaging, one-time presentations introducing the topics of healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics, and prevention of relationship violence. These presentations are designed to educate the public on the complexities of relationship violence, and the need for prevention services.

Our Volunteer Speakers’ Bureau is distinct from the Foundation’s grant-funded school partner programs. While our volunteer speakers introduce these topics in a single presentation, they do not provide the year-round comprehensive healthy relationship programs that schools provide with our grant funding.

Whether you’re a civic organization, faith community, business, school club, or other community group, our Speakers’ Bureau is available to take this conversation to your audience.

Please contact us to request a speaker for your group.

Awards & Recognitions

"I want to show them the warning signs; why it is so hard to get out. To help them with the legal system, to help them leave sooner. I'm embarking on my new calling, to help other girls and other victims."
