Crisis Line Volunteers
Volunteers with our crisis line help domestic violence victims take their first steps towards a safer and more secure future. We receive approximately 2,000 calls a year and have assisted with making sure domestic violence victims receive the information, intervention, referrals, and advocacy they need.
Crisis Line volunteers will be mainly answering phones and answering a wide variety of questions and concerns including:
- Information about our services and programs
- Information about community resources from other organizations
- Screening potential clients
Due to the nature of this position and the close communication with victims, extensive training will be needed and provided to volunteers by the Crisis Center following a background check to ensure you are confident and comfortable in your position.
