Are you interested in supporting folks who have experienced sexual and/or domestic violence? Then consider becoming a hotline volunteer!
Hotline Volunteers are responsible for responding to our 24-hour confidential hotline at the Aurora Healing Center at Sinai Hospital. Volunteers will work within the Healing Center at Sinai and answer calls coming through the hotline. Volunteers will be trained to assess and address the needs of the caller by providing information and referrals, emotional support, and crisis intervention. Volunteers may also assist with some office support during their shifts as well!
This position requires a minimum of 12 hours of coverage per month and a minimum of a 6-month commitment. Shifts are very flexible!
Extensive volunteer training is required for this position, and the next volunteer training is:
- Wednesday, May 14 5:30pm-8:30pm (SA/DV 101 part 1, online)
- Thursday, May 15 5:30pm-8:30pm (SA/DV 101 part 2, online)
- Saturday, May 17 9:00am-3:30pm (Hotline Focus, in person)
On top of these real time trainings (which will be a combination of both online and in person), there are some pre-recorded trainings that volunteers must watch on their own time. Training is about 15 hours total.
