Help Survivors of Sexual and Intimate Partner Violence - Manhattan and Queens Residents Needed!

Save to Favorites

Dear Manhattan and Queens folks,

On behalf of the Mount Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention (SAVI) Program, I wanted to invite you to join us in eradicating sexual and intimate partner violence from our communities.

New York City needs you!

By joining our roster of volunteer Emergency Department (ED) Advocates it is possible to have an impact. An ED Advocate is trained to provide support and advocacy for survivors in emergency departments, so they don’t have to face the difficult decisions, emotions and follow-up procedures alone. SAVI ED Advocates helped more than 500 survivors in New York City Emergency Departments last year-that’s almost 2 survivors a day!

We hope you or someone you know may be interested in becoming a Volunteer Emergency Department Advocate. Those interested should visit https://tinyurl.com/savirecruit for information and the application. If you have any questions please call (212) 423-2140 or email savi@mssm.edu for the next steps. In your email please include your telephone number and the general best day(s) and time(s) to reach you at that number. Interviews will be held from July - October and those accepted into the program will begin training in October.

More information is also available at our website - please visit www.mssm.edu/savi .

Thank you so much for your help and we hope to hear from you!

Your friends at The Mount Sinai SAVI Team
