Court Watch Montgomery is Recruiting Board Members!

We are a small nonprofit with a big mission: to ensure safety and access to justice for survivors of intimate partner violence in Montgomery County. Through dedicated and well-trained volunteers, we monitor and collect data on protective order hearings in Montgomery County District Court, use our findings to identify and recommend needed improvements in policy and practice, and hold judges and court personnel accountable for providing a safe and respectful court environment.

Since our founding in 2011, Court Watch Montgomery (CWM) has monitored more than 11,000 hearings and our resulting reports and recommendations make an impact. We found in 2022 that “staggered exits” – a recognized best practice to protect victims at the end of a protective order hearing – were being enforced only 39% of the time. We reported this finding to the public and to the court and saw an immediate increase, to 59%, in 2023. We also reported in 2023 that petitioners are far more likely to receive a final protective order when they appear in court with an advocate or attorney, highlighting a critical resource need in the county. Most recently, CWM reported on the use of gun-related best practices in protective order hearings, helping to inform the public about an issue that is the focus of a high profile Supreme Court case (Rahimi).

The CWM board defines the organization’s mission and vision, develops short- and long-term plans to carry out the mission, and sets policies for effective management. Resource development and fundraising to support CWM operations are key functions of the board. We are seeking to expand our board and are committed to having a team with diverse skills, experiences, and abilities. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and communities, and we especially encourage those with lived experience and skills in fundraising/resource development, finance/accounting, or advocacy/policy, to apply. Interviews will be held with current CWM board members and our Executive Director.

Please submit a resume and letter of interest to: lchatmon@courtwatchmontgomery.org

We provide information on topics related to after-death care, including the relative costs of area funeral services on our web site. We are currently seeking volunteers to help us with our ongoing work in a variety of roles, including advocacy, research, and writing, but the best way to become involved is to attend one of our board meetings to get acquainted with our work and find out if any of our needs match your interests and skills at that time.

Proficiency with the English language is required, but volunteers with a second language and ideas about how we might reach out to minority groups would be welcomed. No specific training is required but volunteers will find they quickly become sophisticated in matters relating to after-death care by participating in discussions at board meetings and reading the information on our website.

*WHO WE ARE*

Widow Care's Mission

Widow Care’s mission is to provide targeted and accessible content & connections to DC,
Maryland and Virginia residents facing the loss of a spouse, so they can become empowered in their walk through grief and new challenges. We do so by providing peer support groups, social meet-ups, mentorship & education to help members regain stability after tragedy.

There are 680,204 widowed men and women living in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Furthermore, 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 are widowed. While widowhood is so incredibly widespread, few resources exist to aid surviving spouses in their transition into widowhood.

Widowed persons are at an increased risk of depression, social isolation and serious health problems, and we aim to combat this by creating a strong and supportive network comprised of understanding individuals. We encourage members to attend entertaining and enjoyable events, while also encouraging them to find a support system which allows them to speak about their challenges. Our educational programs & local service connections aim to make the transition into widowhood easier by offering pertinent services & education.

Widow Cares Vision

Our founders’ vision for the organization involves widow(er)s helping other widow(er)s. We walk with our members throughout their healing process by offering specialized care & support, and we enable them to "give back" by donating their time or funds to help other widowed persons in the community. We aim to offer the highest level of support by connecting individuals with a multitude of resources, not limited to our own events/programs. We strive to work with other nonprofits, support groups & organizations in our area to ensure ample support.

Widow Cares Core Values

Widow Care incorporates 4 main core values into all of our programs, operations & communications: Compassion, Care, Community & Empowerment.
