Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Daytime Advocate volunteers help answer the Crisis hotline between 9am-5pm and/or are on call to go to one of the area hospitals when a victim of sexual assault comes in for an exam. Volunteer Advocates who go to the hospital offer crisis intervention and emotional support for the victim and the victims family. Crisis hotline volunteers answer calls coming in to the 24-hour hotline and offer emotional support and crisis intervention to those in need.
