Response Team
Response Teams Volunteers respond nights and weekends, to provide immediate crisis intervention to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Volunteers meet with survivors in the hospital and jail setting to offer support, information and advocacy immediately following incidents of domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as respond by phone when necessary.
Volunteer Time Requirments: On-call shifts run from 5p to 8a on weeknights or 8a-8a weekends. Volunteers are asked to take 3 shifts each month. We ask that Response Team volunteers live within 1 hour of SafeHouse Center, as to ensure prompt responses for survivors.
Note: A valid driver’s license and access to a reliable vehicle are required for this program. Due to insurance requirements, Response Team Volunteers must be at least 21 and must pass a motor vehicle background check.
