Volunteers complete a state-mandated 40-hour training to answer our 24/hour rape crisis hotline. During on-call shifts, volunteers answer hotline calls and respond in person to the hospital to support survivors and provide appropriate referrals when needed. Volunteer advocates are required to pass a background check, take 2-3 shifts per month, attend quarterly advocate meetings, and commit at least one year to the program. Hotline volunteers can also help staff booths at community events and assist in other outreach efforts. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.
