We are always looking for compassionate individuals, aged 19 and older, who are feminist, pro-choice, and accepting of all genders to join our team of dedicated volunteers.

​

Our volunteers become a part of a dedicated group of people who provide an invaluable service to our community and to survivors of sexual assault in Corner Brook and the surrounding areas. Involvement with SARA gives volunteers the opportunity to gain experience, knowledge, and skills in many areas, including crisis intervention, advocacy, not-for-profit organizations, and a variety of issues related to violence. 

​

The responsibilities of volunteers with SARA are:

 

• Confidentiality

• Minimum number of shifts on the SARA line per month (changes with number of active volunteers)

• Accompany survivors to the hospital or police station when on-call

• Attend one monthly Volunteer Meeting

• Submit Call Statistic Forms within 48 hours of receiving a call

• Commit to a minimum of one-year volunteering with SARA

• Submit required signed documentation (including but not limited to Confidentiality Agreement, Certificate of Conduct, Volunteer Contact Information, etc.)

• Commit to ongoing self-care

​

Volunteers are a very valuable resource and we will provide volunteers with:      

 

• Training and orientation to perform required duties

• Feedback and support from fellow volunteers and staff

• Opportunities to use existing skills and develop new ones

• Recognition for efforts and accomplishments
