Had a great time volunteering with this nonprofit for their 40 hours sexual assault advocate training. They provided a lot of information on a variety of topics and made volunteers feel empowered to help our community.

I have been a volunteer at the Sexual Violence Center for over a year now. During my time, I have answered crisis line calls on overnight shifts, as well as met clients at the hospital during an evidentiary exam. I've also been a peer counselor for mostly the Spanish-speaking clientele that come through our doors.
By far the best experience I've had working at SVC has been facilitating a support group for high school girls. I had an amazing group of teens who had really been through a lot. During those three months, we built trust with each other and slowly worked our way through painful experiences. We talked about self-care and coping--ways to deal with the pain that are positive and self-loving. At the end of our time together, I could see the growth and healing that had begun in these girls, and it was such a powerful experience for me!

I'm a survivor of childhood sexual violence and about 7 yrs ago I called them seeking counseling when I was disabled by severe PTSD symptoms. They were extremely supportive and helpful in every way, providing me with free one to one counseling for many weeks. With their help I was able to reach a place in my healing process I'd never thought possible before. They helped me to feel empowered by seeking counseling and that I wasn't weak to need help. I can honestly say that they helped to change my life; I'm now back in college and have been actively volunteering as a mentor to "at-risk" young women and with other women survivors as a peer counselor.

This is a great organization and really cares about giving victims back the strength and control they need to keep the blame where it belongs- on the perpetrator!

I took my training at the Sexual Violence Center in September of 2009. The training was expansive, eye opening, done by the staff and guest speakers. And the follow through with support from the staff is always consistent, educational, and complimented by straight forwardness and good humor. The intent of SVC to promote awareness is always foremost in any contact that I've had and then that is then forwarded on by myself as a volunteer.

SVC is a much needed organization and fills a gap in the community. Many women go there when there is no where else to go. Funding of this organization is much needed and always used for good and positive things.
