Aurora Healing & Advocacy Services is currently recruiting for two separate positions: Hotline Volunteer and Accompaniment Volunteer
Hotline Volunteers are responsible for responding to our 24-hour confidential hotline at the Aurora Healing Center at Sinai Hospital. Volunteers are expected to assess and address the needs of the caller by providing information and referrals, emotional support, and crisis intervention.
The Accompaniment Volunteer is responsible for providing support to sexual assault (SA) and/or domestic violence (DV) patients that need care at Aurora Sinai Medical Center or Aurora West Allis Medical Center. Volunteers will work alongside a forensic nurse while providing support to the patient during any forensic nursing services and will provide accompaniment support during any law enforcement interviews that may take place.
Both positions requires a minimum of 12 hours of coverage per month and a minimum of a 6-month commitment.
Extensive volunteer training is required for both positions, and the next volunteer training dates will be the following:
- Wednesday 5/25 5:30pm-8:30pm (Required for all volunteers: SA/DV 101 part 1)
- Thursday 5/26 5:30pm-8:30pm (Required for all volunteers: SA/DV 101 part 2)
- Wednesday 6/1 5:30pm-8:30pm (Required for all hotline volunteers: Hotline part 1)
- Thursday 6/2 5:30pm-8:30pm (Required for all hotline volunteers: Hotline part 2)
- Saturday 6/4 9am-3:30pm (Required for all accompaniment volunteers)
On top of these real time trainings (TBD whether they are in person/virtual or combination of both), there are some pre-recorded trainings that volunteers must watch on their own time. Training is about 15 hours total (or roughly 21 hours if you are interested in training for both positions).
Please note all volunteers are required to have received, or be willing to receive their covid vaccination, per Advocate Aurora policy.
For more information, email nicole.glaser@aah.org. Compete this form if you're interested in moving forward with either position.
