Our volunteer Advocates provide the crucial service of answering our 24-hour crisis hotline for domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking and trafficking victims. Crisis line volunteers must complete our 30-hour initial training. This training is legally required in order to uphold the confidentiality requirements of this work in addition to fostering the skills needed to provide effective advocacy.
Our advocates need access to safe/reliable transportation, a phone, and a quiet place to take calls without interruptions.
Our comprehensive training is FREE of charge to those who commit to volunteering 2 shifts per month for 1 year.
Trainings are provided fall and spring.
Internship opportunities are also available.
