Volunteering at SASC
Thank you for showing an interest
in being part of the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa (SASC). We are
always excited to hear more women want to be a part of the important and
empowering work we do. This letter, along with this package of information is
intended to provide you with some information to make a more informed decision
to become a volunteer with SASC. In this package as well as information on our
website you should find an outline of what SASC offers; information on what we
can offer you through training and volunteering; how you may benefit from SASC;
expectations and responsibilities of our members; a copy of our politics; and a
self-screening questionnaire. I would encourage you to read over and complete
the questionnaire so you can better assess whether SASC is the organization you
wish to volunteer with at this time.
We typically run training for volunteer support workers / collective members twice per year. Typically in the Spring through May and June as well as the Fall through October and November. In order to be considered a support worker or collective member at SASC it is necessary to complete the approximately 60+ hours of training. If after reading over this package of information you still feel SASC is where you wish to put your volunteer energy at this time, please call for an interview or to have your name put on the waiting list for our next session of training.
