Volunteers are needed to work with survivors of sexual violence in emergency departments. Volunteers are required to commit to sharing 288 hours on-call with Resilience at a minimum of 24 hours per month. Our volunteers become a certified rape crisis counselor ( after completing 60 hours of training) and will sign up to be on-call for at least two 12-hour shifts per month. Opportunities are available for people of all gender identities. The volunteer will provide crisis counseling, support, medical/legal advocacy, information and referrals to sexual assault survivors in any of our 16 contracted hospital emergency departments throughout Chicago. Volunteers must complete intensive 60-hour training to serve as a medical advocate volunteer/rape crisis counselor in the state of Illinois. Training sessions are held four times per year.
