At Women Helping Women, we provide support services to ALL survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. We are looking for volunteers to provide hospital accompaniment to survivors!
Our volunteers help provide court accompaniment to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Court Advocates work at the Domestic Relations Court where survivors seek civil protection orders. Volunteers help with paperwork, attend hearings with survivors, providing emotional support, connect survivors to community resources. We respond to 8 hospitals in Butler County.
Advocates/volunteers fill out an application (online application link), attend an interview with our volunteer coordinator, and must attend our mandatory 40-hour volunteer training that is offered in the spring and fall each year. Our next training begins the first week in March, spans two weeks (include weekend days and a few weekday evenings), and will be completed in 7 class sessions.
After completing training, volunteers will be required to be on 2 on-call shifts per month. Each shift is 4 hours and is either from 8am - 12pm OR 1pm-4pm. Your shifts depend on your availability! We also have a mandatory volunteer meeting each month.
