Description

See website for the volunteer application: http://alachuacounty.us/depts/css/victimservices/pages/volunteerinfo.aspx

Caring and compassionate people looking to make a difference in our community and in the lives of those hurt by sexual violence can volunteer with the Alachua County Victim Services & Rape Crisis Center.  Our program has two volunteer tracks to pursue - serve as a Helpline Counselor, answering our 24/7 rape crisis helpline, or a Community Ambassador, promoting awareness at community events.

​Volunteer Community Ambassadors assist program outreach staff by representing our agency at local outreach events, explaining program services to community leaders, and generally promoting awareness about sexual violence and local resources.  Additionally, volunteers help organize and prepare for events and assist staff with performing general office duties as needed.

Ambassadors must complete a short in-house training, which takes place at our program's offices located at 218 SE 24th Street, Gainesville, FL.  Potential volunteers must complete a level 2 background check, which is paid for by the program, before beginning their service.

Upon completing their training, Community Ambassadors are expected to participate in 2 hours of outreach work each week.

For more information on becoming a Community Ambassador, contact Cassandra Moore at (352) 264-6712, camoore@alachuacounty.us.
