Volunteer training with YWCA Clark County begins Jan. 11, so applications are being accepted now. Volunteers are partners in the nonprofit’s “mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all,” the YWCA said in a news release.
The nonprofit is particularly interested in expanding its number of court appointed special advocates and sexual assault program volunteers.
“Our volunteers are the heart of the sexual assault program. Whether in a hospital or court setting, they support survivors of sexual assault with compassion and empathy,” Kai Hill, sexual assault program advocate, said in the release.
Those interested in learning more about becoming a volunteer can visit ywcaclarkcounty.org or contact Nichole Peppers at 360-906-9112 or npeppers@ywcaclarkcounty.org. Potential volunteers have to be interviewed and fill out an application.
