💙 Make a Difference. Become a Victim Services Volunteer.
Alachua County Victim Services and R**e Crisis Center is seeking caring, compassionate individuals to become volunteer helpline counselors.
📞 Volunteers provide support to victims and survivors of violent crime through the agency’s 24/7 crisis helpline, including nights, weekends and holidays when the office is closed.
🎓 Fall volunteer training begins Sept. 1 and runs for seven weeks, with sessions every Tuesday and Thursday through Oct. 15. Training includes crisis intervention, advocacy, sexual violence and interpersonal crimes, plus interactive role-plays with agency staff.
✨ Training is provided at no cost, and successful participants receive Advocacy Core Training certification through the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence. Following training, volunteers are asked to make a minimum nine-month commitment.
