YWCA OKC Sexual Assault Services


Sexual Assault Forensic Advocate Volunteer

At the YWCA Oklahoma City, our survivors of sexual assault will seek crisis invention, emotional support, advocacy, and referrals within hospital settings, or any safe appropriate site as approved by the supervisor. If you are actively ready to serve as a positive compassionate member that demonstrates leadership skills, then please join our Sexual Assault team.
 

Sexual Assault Volunteers must maintain the confidentiality of clients and be sensitive to issues of sexual assault and domestic violence. It is required to be a strong oral and written communicator. Your skills will be put towards providing support and information regarding the hospital and services available to ensure the best possible care for clients.

 

Volunteers are required to complete four (4) observation shifts within six (6) weeks of beginning service. To accomplish this, volunteers are required to fulfill a minimum of 3 on-call shifts per week. Once observations are accomplished, volunteers are required to fulfill a minimum of three (3) on-call shifts each month and attend 10 of 12 monthly team meetings annually.

 

Our Sexual Assault Volunteers & Interns are the emotional support and encouragement needed for our clients. The YWCA Team hopes you will join us in providing resources and successful intervention to our survivors!
