Volunteers are a vital component to

the agency’s ability to give domestic violence and sexual assault survivors the

support they need to heal. We are looking for males and females over the age of

18 who want to make a difference in their community.




Volunteers will receive 65 hours of in

depth training to become a state certified Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

Peer Counselor. Upon completion of the training, volunteers are asked to commit

to twelve hours of volunteer work per month for one year.

Our next training will begin on

Saturday, October 11th and will take place every Saturday at our Santa

Cruz office, 1685 Commercial Way, Santa Cruz through November 15th.

This rewarding experience will give participants the chance to meet new people,

while becoming a part of this life changing movement.
