SURVIVORS offers Journey to Healing Tours twice per month to educate the public about torture and its consequences and introduce potential volunteers to SURVIVORS. Guests view the facilities, hear inspiring stories, and get a feel for the culture at SURVIVOS.
SURVIVORS' office is unmarked and sometimes tricky to find. Greeters helps guests find the office with ease and ensures everyone feels comfortable when they arrive. Greeters are needed twice per month from approximately 5 PM - 5:45 PM. Greeters should be reliable, easy going, and love interacting with people.
