Direct Service Volunteers & Advocates
Direct-service volunteers provide support for HCWC by working with our clients or their children. Those roles include Childcare, HELPline and Internships. In order to fill this important role, you must pass one or more background checks and attend Advocate Training, a 38-hour course that includes 30 hours of classroom training and 8 hours of on-the-job training.
HELPline Advocates
HELPline Advocates answer hotline calls on our 24-hour HELPline from your home. Volunteer advocates take overnight or weekend shifts that fit with their schedule and take calls from their home. Time commitment is one or more shift a month for a year.
Childcare Volunteers
Childcare Volunteers interact with children (usually one or two at a time) while their parent or sibling receives services.
Advocate Training
Because of our sensitivity to client safety and confidentiality, volunteering at HCWC begins with an application and interview with the Community Engagement Coordinator. Direct-service volunteer roles require participation in our 38-hour Volunteer Advocate Training, which prepares volunteers to assist clients and to represent HCWC in the community.
