SFWAR, the group I volunteer for, does an outstanding job of being a support network and service for victims of sexual abuse.

If I had to make changes, I would figure out a way to raise additional funds so there could be more staff for the services SFWAR provides and so that the staff could be paid more. The staff is awesome.

Role:  Volunteer & I handle crisis line calls as a certified sexual assault counselor.
