Volunteer Advocates Needed

MOCSA exists to improve the lives of those impacted by sexual abuse and assault and to prevent sexual violence in our community. MOCSA Volunteers help make our mission possible by helping in the hospital, over the phone, and in the classroom. Here are the ways you can get involved: 

• Hospital Advocate: Support survivors while during their sexual assault forensic exams. Hospital Advocates provide emotional support, crisis intervention and problem solving to assist survivors on the first step of healing. 

• Crisis Line: Help callers on our 24-Hour Crisis Line navigate questions and concerns while offering resources and support. This is not a call center position - Volunteer from the comfort of your couch! 

• Project Aware (Education): Help promote awareness of sexual violence in schools through MOCSA's Project Aware curriculum. This easy to learn (and teach!) classroom presentation is focused on body safety, identifying safe adults, and teaching the basics of consent to students K-5. If you enjoy kids and have daytime availability, this position is for you!

As a 24-Hour organization, we always need help. Our positions offer flexible and on-call scheduling to match anyone's availability. Requirements:

• All MOCSA Volunteers must complete a 40 hour training course, which is divided between online work and attending an in-person session. In-person sessions are offered quarterly. 

• All Volunteers are required to complete a background check for MO and KS, as well as a Fingerprint Registration

If interested, please complete an application here or email volunteer@mocsa.org with any questions.
