Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Advocates
Sexual Assault Support Services of Midcoast Maine seeks volunteers to help staff our 24-hour hotline. Survivors of sexual abuse and assault need support, empathy and someone to listen and understand.
Volunteers provide telephone support, support through medical examinations, advocacy with law enforcement personnel and court appointments.
The training is a 46-hour program, covering topics of Rape, Childhood Sexual Abuse, Rape Trauma Syndrome, Medical and Legal Processes and Advocacy skills.
Volunteer advocates must be caring, dependable and over the age of 18. No prior experience is necessary. To learn about becoming an advocate, call Jess at 725-2181, or email at Jessica Parent.
