Our next Volunteer Advocate Training will be starting Tuesday, January 27^th 2009.  We are looking for dedicated and compassionate people who are committed to sexual assault advocacy, have a strong desire to empower survivors of sexual assault, and help advance our community knowledge of sexual assault.   Volunteers can help with our 24 hour Rape Crisis Hotline which includes evenings, weekends, and day/office shifts.  Volunteers must be over the age of 18, able to fill shift commitments, possess an open, non-judgmental attitude toward survivors of crime, possess good communication skills, the ability to work well with a wide range of people, and  be able to complete the mandatory 40 hour volunteer advocate training to educate them on SAVA services, community resources and Sexual Assault Advocacy.  We also ask that volunteers fulfill a one year commitment to the program and successfully clear a background record check.  There is a $10 processing fee, though scholarships are available and can be discussed during interview. If you are interested please contact Ellen at 970-472-4204 or ellen@savacenter.org.  Volunteer applications will be accepted through January 22^nd.
