Survivor Support & Assistance Director

The Survivor Support Director is a key volunteer leadership position within End The TTI, responsible for helping build, guide, and maintain the organization’s survivor‑centered support efforts. This role focuses on providing trauma‑informed connection, developing safe pathways for survivors to engage with the movement, and shaping programs that honor lived experience. The Director will work closely with survivors who reach out for community, resources, or general support, maintaining compassionate communication while ensuring boundaries, confidentiality, and emotional safety remain central. They will help create and oversee structured processes for referring individuals to mental health, legal, or crisis resources—without providing clinical services—and will develop guidelines for safe survivor engagement in storytelling, advocacy, and public‑facing work.

In addition, the Survivor Support Director will collaborate with leadership to design and refine survivor‑focused initiatives such as peer support circles, community events, and outreach projects. They will help train and coordinate volunteers involved in survivor-facing activities, ensuring all efforts align with trauma‑informed and survivor‑led values. This role also involves representing survivor needs within organizational planning and offering insight into ethical storytelling, informed consent, and safety considerations for survivors participating in legislative or media efforts. Ideal candidates will have strong communication skills, emotional intelligence, and organizational abilities. Lived experience within the TTI or similar institutional systems is welcomed but not required, and a grounding in trauma-informed principles—through training or personal experience—is essential. The expected commitment is approximately 5–10 flexible hours per week, with occasional meetings or involvement in events. Volunteers in this role gain meaningful leadership experience in survivor advocacy and help shape the direction of a growing movement dedicated to ending institutional abuse.
