The Sexual Assault Victim Recovery Program is currently recruiting on-call volunteers to provide victim advocacy and court advocacy. Advocates are available 24/7 to talk with domestic and/or sexual abuse survivors, their families and friends.

As a sexual assault victim advocate you will be accompanying victims of sexual assault to the Rape Care Unit located at Flagler Hospital. At the RCU, victims can receive a forensic medical exam, make a report to law enforcement, and get connected to helping resources. As an advocate, not only will you be providing information regarding victim's rights and resources, but you will be providing emotional support during their RCU visit and assisting victims in navigating their healing journey. Training is provided at no cost and includes both an online training and a training at the Rape Care Unit

Specialized Training Provided
Betty Griffin Center staff members want to ensure that our volunteers are well prepared to do their jobs. Most volunteers are required to participate in a 30-hour Domestic Violence classroom training and 30 hours of online Sexual Assault training to enable them to acquire privilege and confidentiality, and provide them with background information on domestic and sexual violence. If you are interested in working directly with our participants and answering our 24-hour help line this training is required.

Please email Jennifert@bettygriffincenter.org for training class dates.
