The Sexual Assault Response Team in Berrien County is currently seeking advocate volunteers to assist specially-trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) in providing around-the-clock care to sexual assault survivors. Advocates help begin the healing process and give survivors the support they need to live full, satisfying lives.
Advocate volunteers must successfully complete a comprehensive four-day training program to ensure they’re properly equipped to work with sexual assault survivors. Applications are due by Monday, February 25 in order to attend.
The next training session will be:
March 2, 3, 9, and 10
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Advocate volunteers must be able to serve for a minimum of 24 hours per month (six hours per week). On-call shifts will be assigned on a rotational basis, and volunteers who are “on-call” must respond if a call occurs during their shift. Ongoing education and training will be provided to Advocate Volunteers to further develop and enhance the appropriate skills and compassionate support services they provide to patients.
