What is expected of a hotline volunteer?

Our 24-hour hotline is staffed mostly by volunteers. Volunteers are expected to take hotline calls over night from 5pm to 8am.

• Shifts run over a period of several days to a week. We are able to work with diverse schedules and encourage anyone to participate. In order to take shifts on the hotline we require each volunteer to complete a 35-hour training.

• After completing the training, you will be expected to take a series of days each month. This is partly to keep your skills fresh and to better serve clients.

• Becoming a volunteer requires a commitment to helping victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child sexual abuse. We realize that some of these issues can be difficult to deal with and encourage people with a history of abuse who have resolved their issues to apply but to do so cautiously in order to protect themselves and other victims/survivors.
