Join our Volunteer Victim Advocate Program and make a difference in the lives of victims and survivors. As a Volunteer Victim Advocate, you will have the opportunity to staff our 24/7 hotline, providing immediate support, and accompany victims of sexual assault and child sexual abuse to Emergency Rooms in Greenville County.
To help prepare you for the role, all volunteers participate in comprehensive training that covers topics such as boundaries, reporting protocols, confidentiality, crisis management, and more.
As an Victim Advocate, we also ask volunteers to dedicate 24 hours of service per month, covering on-call shifts of either 6 or 12 hours. Shifts span the weekend, starting on Friday evening and continuing through Sunday night:
- Morning shifts from 6 AM to 12 PM
- Afternoon shifts from 12PM to 6PM
- Evening shifts from 6 PM to 6 AM
We recognize that volunteers may be students, parents, have travel plans, or encounter personal emergencies, making it challenging to meet the hourly requirements. If you're unsure about making the commitment, we're happy to discuss individual cases and how we can work with your schedule!
Lastly, while you don't have to be a resdient of Greenville County to volunteer, we do ask that you live within an hour's travel time of the area as volunteers are called to respond to hospitals within the area.
