Volunteers are recruited by means of media coverage, public service announcements, community education and word of mouth. Basic 32-hour volunteer training sessions are held twice a year, after which volunteers may work on the hotline. Additional training classes are offered in legal advocacy, children's program, support group facilitation, and community education for volunteers who have completed the 32-hour session.
Volunteers participate in all facets of HAWC operations.
We also provide undergraduate and graduate internships for college students. Please see our calendar for the next training dates. If you have questions about our volunteer program, you may either call us or fill out the online information request form .
