The mission of the Albany County Crime Victim and Sexual Violence Center is to provide direct and comprehensive services to victims of sexual assault or other violent crime, and to raise community consciousness of crime through prevention education. The Center also assists other victims of personal violence, particularly adults and children abused within domestic relationships.
Our organization provides services to victims of crime and their friends and family. We also offer a 24-hour crisis hotline which is free and anonymous. We offer many different ways for volunteers to become involved, including staffing our crisis hotline, providing court advocacy, and completing office projects.
We'll work with your schedule.
