Join A Genesis Women's Shelter Auxiliary Group

Take a look at the auxiliary groups at Genesis. Each group offers support through annual dues, donations, volunteering and special events, and operates under the leadership of a Board of Directors.

Genesis Shareholders:

Our newest group, founded in 2001, is made up of over 150 young men and women who are dedicated to supporting the mission of Genesis Women's Shelter, increasing domestic violence awareness, and supporting the children that reside in our residential facilities. The Shareholders hold quarterly "meetings" that have included such events as a Texas Independence Day party, a holiday party, an evening at the driving range, and more.

For more information on Shareholders please contact: Lara Gaither, Director of Outreach and Community Development at (214) 389-7704 or lgaither@genesisshelter.org

Genesis Alliance

Founded in 1997, the Genesis Alliance is composed of over 400 women who support the mission of Genesis Women's Shelter to alleviate family violence, through volunteerism, education and community awareness. The Genesis Alliance helps in many ways. The Alliance puts on the Genesis Mother's Day Luncheon which has been an annual event for the past 10 years and is our largest fundraiser.

STAR (Students Tackle Abusive Relationships)

STAR was founded in 1998 for teens from local high schools to come together to support Genesis Women's Shelter. STAR members show their support through holiday parties for the children at the shelter and held "STARS & SPURS" their first fundraiser in April 2001. This year STAR will hold a donation drive, coordinate a spring field day at the shelter, sponsor a breakfast with Santa, and more.
