Our Volunteer Advocates work directly supporting survivors and loved ones on our 24-hour hotline. Our 24-hour Crisis Hotline provides support and information to survivors of sexual assault and sexual violence. Volunteer Advocates are trained in crisis intervention, emotional support, advocacy skills and referrals to local community resources. Because calls are confidentially patched through to any number the advocate likes, working on the hotline is an incredibly flexible way to make a very direct impact. Previous experience with advocacy work is not required, though we require hotline advocates to attend our 40-hour hotline training and commit to picking up 4 shifts (6 hours each) per month for at least a year.
Sexual Violence impacts us all and as an advocate you will find immense meaning in supporting survivors directly on the hotline and make an immediate impact in your community. Our volunteers often say that the skills and experience they gain from this role help them in all areas of their personal and professional life. The connections you make in this program last a lifetime.
