Help Support Survivors - Volunteer Advocates Needed!

MOCSA exists to improve the lives of those impacted by sexual abuse and assault and to prevent sexual violence in our community. Volunteers are vital to this mission, and we offer a variety of ways for you to get involved:

• Hospital Advocate: Hospital Advocates provide emotional support, information and resources for survivors during the forensic exam process. As a Hospital Advocate, your presence can make a significant impact on the journey to healing. Volunteers set their own schedules and have staff support during every shift.
• Crisis Line: Help survivors and their loved ones on our 24-Hour Crisis Line. Crisis Line Volunteers navigate questions and concerns while offering resources and support. This is not a call center position - volunteer from the comfort of your couch!
• Project Aware (Education): Help raise awareness of sexual violence in schools through MOCSA's Project Aware curriculum. This easy to learn program teaches K-5 students about body safety, identifying safe adults, and understanding consent. If you enjoy working with kids and have daytime availability, this role is for you!
