Volunteers are the essential core for implementing Rape Crisis services. Last year, 114 volunteers dedicated more than 48,000 hours. Without the active participation and commitment of volunteers, we would be unable to provide this important 24-hour service.    

The primary volunteer role with Rape Crisis Service is the Rape Crisis Advocate. Advocates provide emotional support and information to survivors of sexual assault, significant others, and members of their families. This role requires completion of a 32 hour training, reliable transportation, a minimum one-year commitment, and attendance at a minimum of 3 in-service trainings a year. Volunteers are on-call for 12 hour shifts a minimum of 4 times/month.  Recruitment and training for this position occur each spring and fall.

Periodically we have other volunteer opportunities within Rape Crisis Service. Check our open volunteer positions to see what is currently available.
