Volunteer of the Season

Please join us on recognizing Amber as our Volunteer of the Spring Season for 2025!

Amber has been volunteering with SAVA Center for over a year. During her time here, she has been an ultra-consistent, warm, and helpful presence on the hotline. Amber brings a level of calm and aplomb to every interaction that is immediately reassuring.

We are very grateful for her and all the work she does to support survivors in our Northern Colorado community.

  • If I didn't have to sleep, I would spend more time swing dancing :) I go out and dance at Chutes Dance Hall whenever I have time, and it's just such a wonderful way to have fun with our community. I wish I could do more of it!

  • The best thing about spring are all the blossoms! The trees are so gorgeous and remind me of the promise of beautiful new beginnings after long hard seasons.

  • Small things that make my day better include not having to wake up to my alarm, eating some kind of chocolatey dessert, and taking a nap :)

  • I've been listening to "I Was Made For Lovin' You" by YUNGBLUD. I was inspired after watching Fall Guy haha!

Types of Volunteers We Need

  • Hotline Advocate

    Volunteers complete a 40-hour training to answer calls on our 24-hour rape crisis hotline and respond in person at the hospital to support survivors and provide appropriate referrals. Advocates are required to pass a background check, take three shifts per month, attend quarterly advocate meetings, and commit at least one year to the program. Hotline volunteers can also help staff booths at community events and assist in other outreach efforts. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.

  • Booth Advocate/Special Events

    A Booth/Special events advocate completes up to 10 hours of training to represent SAVA in the community at booths and special events. Duties include anything from setting up/tearing down events, putting together and distributing SAVA materials, attending special events during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, engaging with community members and more! An application, interview, and background check must be completed.

    Email volunteer@savacenter.org to sign up!

  • Bilingual Advocate

    Bilingual Advocates provide support and outreach to people in the Latinx communities in Larimer and Weld Counties. They provide advocacy and crisis intervention for monolingual Spanish-speakers who have been impacted by sexual assault while also connecting them with appropriate resources. Bilingual Advocates also have the opportunity to help the Bilingual Victim Services Coordinators in preparing and completing presentations and workshops as well as running Spanish-speaking groups and translating any needed materials. Because the Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities are highly underserved, we need bilingual advocates to help us reach those who need our services and decrease the barriers they face when seeking services. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.

  • SuperWorld Volunteer

    During the summer months, our prevention team facilitates groups with 8 to 12-year-olds in an empowerment program that focuses on healthy living. Volunteers act as mentors to help facilitate activities and group discussions around healthy body image, setting and respecting boundaries, and consent through age appropriate curriculum. The program concludes with a field day that brings together all SuperWorld groups, mentors, and staff.

    If you’re interested in becoming a SuperWorld Mentor, email hope@savacenter.org. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.

  • SART Mentor

    During the school year, the SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) program in high schools trains juniors and seniors to present to freshmen and sophomores as well as middle school students about how to prevent sexual violence in their schools and communities. Adult mentors attend the presentations to assist with questions that arise, address any disclosures, and support students who may experience triggers during the presentation. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.

  • Internships

    Internships are available for undergraduate and graduate students. An application, interview, and background check must be completed.
