Volunteer for our Sexual Assault Program!
Sexual Assault Response Program (SARP)
SARP Internship
SARP volunteers must be 18 years of age. Volunteers serve as a SARP companion. After someone is sexually
assaulted, the survivor is often taken to the hospital for a medical check up and forensic evidence collection.
A SARP companion serves as an advocate and support by meeting a survivor of sexual violence at the
hospital, assisting with crisis intervention, and helping the survivor understand his/her medical and legal
options. This immediate support can make a huge difference in the recovery of a survivor. SARP volunteer
are asked to take 3 twelve-hour shifts on call per month.
