We're in need of volunteers interested in our Hospital Accompaniment (HA) program. As an HA advocate, volunteers act as on-call companions for domestic and sexual violence survivors that arrive at hospitals with which Avalon collaborates.
Position would require a time commitment for weekday/end shifts, and volunteers receive extensive training before shift assignment, as well as being subject to a background check. Shifts last anywhere from 16hrs on a week day to 24hrs on a weekend day and while the volunteer may not respond to a call for the entire 16/24hr shift duration, volunteers are expected to be available to respond to a call during their scheduled shift.
If potential volunteers have any additional questions about becoming an HA advocate or would like more information on the position, please contact Libba Van Eepoel at libbavaneepoel@avaloncenter.org
