HELENA â On Tuesday, Jenny Eck announced she will be leaving her role as Executive Director of the Friendship Center to pursue an international fellowship in Peace and Conflict Resolution.
Eck has been leading the Friendship Center since July of 2018. âIt is bittersweet to be leaving my position at the Friendship Center,â Eck said. âI have loved my time here and am passionate about the mission. This is an incredible organization with deep roots in our community.â
The Friendship Center is the only organization in Lewis and Clark, Jefferson, and Broadwater Counties dedicated to serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and stalking through safe shelter, crisis response and advocacy. They provide confidential services to anyone who has suffered from these types of violence, free of charge.
The pandemic has put a lot of things on hold, but not the work at the Friendship Center in Helena. The organization has continued to provide help and shelter to survivors of sexual and domestic violence throughout the pandemic, but it has not been easy.
