Clone of HelpLine SARN Volunteer Application

Are you ready to make a difference in someone’s life? Do you want to learn new skills, while helping others? Becoming a HelpLine volunteer will allow you to invest in the lives of others, who often in turn, bring something altruistic into your life. HelpLine’s Sexual Assault Response Network (SARN) program is accepting volunteer applications for those wanting to provide assistance in Delaware, Morrow, Union, Crawford and Wyandot Counties. Volunteer advocates would become part of Sexual Assault Response Network (SARN) which provides 24/7 rape crisis advocacy at local emergency and police departments.

HelpLine Sexual Assault Response Network (SARN) Volunteer

The SARN Program depends on caring volunteers to be on call and provide emotional support to victims of sexual assault at local hospitals and/or law enforcement departments. Volunteers receive extensive training in the area of sexual assault and help give victims the crucial support they need to get through the initial trauma of being a victim and move into recovering from this experience. Trained volunteers may also help with community outreach efforts.

HelpLine’s 40-hour SARN training helps prepare volunteers to respond to the Hospital and is required for all new volunteers. We hold trainings throughout the year in both Delaware / Morrow and Crawford / Wyandot Counties. Volunteers must complete the 40-hour training to be qualified for a volunteer position. This training consists of 20-hours online content on your own and 20 hours live working with staff
