Volunteers come from all walks of life. They are nurses, PA's, homemakers, career women, black, white, hispanic, old, and young. Their common interest is in the victims we serve. Some have been victims of sexual assault themselves. Some have had a family member or a close friend who has been a victim.

We are often the first responders to victims at the hospital and may be the first person they reveal their past to on the Crisis Line. Either way, after being trained, our volunteers are anxious to help those in need. They are well trained on Rape Trauma and what a victim may look or sound like.

It is comforting for the victim to hear us say," I am sorry this happened to you. I believe you."


You can be there for the victim of rape or sexual assault at her lowest point. You can be a beacon of hope, so that with aid and support, she can re-organize her life and begin her healing.

Join us. We need you. They need you.

Crisis Line
Serve directly on the crisis line, giving support and information to victims and their families. The crisis line is a 24 hours/ 7 days a week service.

Hospital Response
Be on call to assist in the emergency room when a sexual assault survivor needs the support the Rape Crisis Center offers.

Volunteer training dates:
Saturday July 19th from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Monday July 21st through Thursday July 24th from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

If you are interested in volunteering to respond to the hospital when a victim reports a rape to the police OR answer the 24-hour crisis line. Please call 233-3000 or email us.

Volunteers must attend all sessions. Each session lays a foundation for the next day's training. Therefore it is imperative that you attend all sessions! Lunch will be provided for you each day of training.

We will conduct the classes at the Rape Crisis Center. But, we will go to the Candler Memorial Hospitals during our training to get a "hands on" feel for the SART (to be explained at the training) approach.

What's your next step? Call and set up an interview with our Volunteer Coordinator. You can reach our Volunteer Coordinator at 233-3000. We want to meet you prior to the training, in order to fill you in on what to expect, to get to know you a bit, and to find the location of our office.

We ask a lot of our volunteers because our work is so important. Thank you for agreeing to be a part of our efforts to envision a world free of violence.
