Answer Survivors' Call - Become an Advocate Today!

Save to Favorites

Want to make a difference? When you volunteer at Thrive Survivor Support Center, the effect on you may be as great as the impact you have on survivors. As a volunteer advocate, you will work directly with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking, providing crucial support in their strongest moments.

This is a remote opportunity that can be done anywhere in the state of New Hampshire, as long as you have a cell-phone with service and a confidential space. However, the training does include at least one day where in-person attendance is required at our office in Concord, NH.

In the volunteer advocate role, you will be required to complete a 30-hour training that will prepare you to provide confidential advocacy and support. You are not required to have any previous training in crisis work, only a strong desire to help those in need of services and passion for making a difference for survivors. The next 30-hour training is scheduled to begin mid-December with self-paced webinars, Zoom format, and one day of in person training.

Volunteer advocates will be available on an on-call basis. Volunteering for the hotline is a remote opportunity that can be done from your home or wherever you may be, as long as you have access to a private space to provide all of your attention to the survivor.

Hotline shifts are available from 7pm-7am Mon-Sun, 7a-7p Sat-Sun, and 4p-7p Mon-Fri. (While shifts are available during these times, it is not required for volunteers to sign up for the entire 12 hours.)

Requirements:

• Must be 18 years or older and reside in the state of New Hampshire.
• Must be able to pass NH Criminal Background Check.
• Must participate and successfully complete 30-hour preservice training.
• Must commit to one (1) year of service.
• Must commit to 24 hours of service per month (with flexible combinations)
• Must have access to personal phone and/or laptop.
