Opportunities From: Volunteer Wisconsin

Volunteer: On-Call Advocacy

On-call Advocates provide a vital link to services for individuals who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault. Advocates provide crisis intervention, advocacy, supportive listening, medical advocacy, law enforcement advocacy, shelter facilitation, transportation, information, and referrals when Family Support Center is closed.

Advocates sign up for shifts, which are 4:30pm-8am on weekdays, as well as 24-hour shifts on holidays and weekends. We are looking for an approximate one-year minimum commitment because of the extensive training provided.

Advocates take calls from their homes, using their personal phones. Transportation to the hospital, a law enforcement agency, and/or a safe shelter may be requested, depending on the needs of the caller.
