Our vision is to foster a community where all survivors of sexual violence are believed, supported, and empowered to heal and where prevention, education, and collective action create a future free from sexual violence.
Our volunteer advocates are an essential part of our agency and provide year-round coverage to our 24/7 helpline and hospital accompaniment programs. We are looking for compassionate, personable, and dependable individuals who wish to develop their advocacy skills and actively participate in the recovery of survivors and their loved ones. If you are passionate about supporting survivors and being part of social change to end sexual violence, then this may be right for you! As a volunteer with CARE, you will have the opportunity to receive specialized training, meet new people, join a community of like-minded advocates, and attend presentations and workshops by community professionals throughout the year. Additionally, you will be able to take the skills and training from your volunteer experience with CARE out into your environment to continue to advocate against sexual violence and change the culture.
Volunteers will receive an initial 10-hour victim advocate training and will receive at least 6 hours of continued training throughout the year. All volunteers are provided with contact information to reach CARE staff members while on call. Staff and agency therapists are also readily available for debriefing and support after a call if needed. Quarterly volunteer meetings are a key opportunity to receive support and feedback from other volunteers and staff, as well. Finally, all volunteers will be provided with hard copy and web-based resources and information packets.
Take action with CARE — whether through events, volunteering, or donations, your involvement helps victim-survivors and builds a stronger, safer community.
