Volunteers in the Victim Assistance Program can be students or community members who are interested in working with and advocating for victims of crime. We require a minimum one year commitment, but we do not stipulate a mandatory number of hours per week; we typically recommend coverage of four court events per month so the volunteer gains enough experience to fully learn the system and provide appropriate support and information to victims. Volunteering with the Victim Assistance Program provides great job experience in the criminal justice system and builds a great connection between you and your community.
Volunteers and interns work alongside staff advocates to meet the mission of our program: To support and aid victims of crime as they move through the criminal justice process; to provide them with assistance, services, and resource information; to promote participation in the criminal justice system by educating victims about their rights and to advocate for the enforcement of these rights; and to coordinate with community agencies to ensure continuity of support for victims.
