Getting Involved
Advocates
Program
To be a DVRP volunteer or bilingual advocate you need to participate
in a 40+ hour advocates training, which DVRP offers twice a year.
Volunteer advocates work mainly with English-speaking survivors and
are not required to provide services during regular business hours.
Bilingual advocates work with limited English proficient survivors
and are required to be available on an on-call basis during regular
business hours. Our advocates work with survivors by providing social
service support, which encompasses activities like peer counseling,
accompaniment to court, and interpretation assistance. Please fill
