STAR is looking for highly motivated and passionate women and men interested in working with sexual trauma survivors in the New Orleans community. As a small non-profit organization, we rely on committed community members to provide support to survivors on our 24/7 hotline and accompany survivors to the hospital during day and night. Volunteer opportunities include:
Hotline Advocacy: Our trained hotline advocates provide crisis intervention and support to callers on a 24/7 basis.
Hospital Accompaniment: Advocates provide crisis intervention and support to survivors at the hospital during a forensic medical exam.
As a volunteer, STAR will provide you with extensive training and educational opportunities, a supportive network of staff members and fellow volunteers, and an opportunity to help survivors heal and move past their trauma. Volunteering is a great resume-builder and a way to learn new skills!

Description
STAR, formerly the Rape Crisis Center, was established in 1975 to serve sexual assault survivors and their loved ones in the Greater Baton Rouge community. For the first 36 years, STAR operated as a division of the East Baton Rouge District Attorney’s Office. In 2011 the Rape Crisis Center became STAR, which incorporated into a 501(c)(3) non-profit with the Louisiana Secretary of State and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to expand services to surrounding parishes, increase education and outreach efforts, and ensure confidentiality with our clients as a separate non-governmental entity. STAR now offers services to the entire Capital Region, including Ascension, East Feliciana, East Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Pointe Coupee, West Baton Rouge and West Feliciana Parishes. In 2015, STAR opened an office in New Orleans to expand the geographic reach of our services.
STAR is a non-profit organization operating in the Greater Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas to provide free, confidential support to survivors of sexual assault. Our services include:
24/7 Hotline
