Volunteer Opportunities
The only way we can help is ... when the community gets involved. We have several volunteer opportunities that each offer a rewarding way to give back to your community. They range from being a Crisis Advocate, fundraising and sitting on our Board of Directors.
Volunteer Candidates must meet the following minimum requirements and complete our mandatory training to become part of the team. The minimum requirements are as follows:
Minimum of 21 years of age at the time of recruitment

Crisis Advocates are required to provide five 12-hour shifts per month. A Team Leader supports each team of two Advocates on call 24-7 to receive requests for services on-scene and telephone support.
