What would it mean to you to help someone through a crisis?

 

By giving just 6 hours a month or 72 hours per year, you can assist someone in crisis by  offering a compassionate ear and a reassuring voice—all from the comfort of your home.

PAAR’s  volunteers remain the foundation of our agency.  Volunteers play an integral role in this community through their work on our 24-hour.
crisis hotline.


PAAR’s volunteer training program will enable you to:

  • Master active listening skills
  • Calm someone in crisis
  • Understanding the dynamics of rape

     Student volunteers may be eligible for school credits if you are a psychology, social work, or  a counseling major. Check with your college or university! You will be able to put "sexual assault counselor" on your resume.

You are making an impact in a victims life. 

If interested in any volunteer position

Call Kathi Leddy at (412) 431-5665, extension 108 or please fill out our online informational form, which includes training schedules. Trainings take place in the spring and fall. Schedules are available on our online informational form.

Are you unable to commit to the 40-hour training sessions necessary for all volunteers working with victims? Well, you can still help and be an integral part of PAAR’s mission. Special events, public speaking, and clerical assistance are all areas that are open for volunteers.
