Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Coalition 24 Hour Crisis Line:  (530) 272-3467

Volunteers are vital to DVSAC's operation.  They help in many capacities, from answering the 24 hour crisis line, to performing outreach in the community, helping with support, children's and anger management groups, and general office assistance.  Whatever your interests and skills, DVSAC is likely to have an volunteer opportunity to match.

Training is provided for all volunteer tasks.  In the case of volunteers who deal with clients on the crisis line or in person, a mandatory 80 hour training is required.  This includes enrollment for the course AJ-200 at the Nevada County Campus of Sierra College (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Intervention) and 14 hours of on-site training at the DVSAC office and Nevada County Courthouse.  At the end of this training, qualified volunteers will receive certification as a peer counselor.

To find out about volunteer opportunities and training, please call the Volunteer Coordinator at the DVSAC office at (530) 272-2046 or email us at dvc@dvsac.org.
