Volunteer of the Season

Please join us in recognizing Hannah Osincup as our Volunteer of the Winter Season for 2026!

Hannah has been fielding hotline calls for nearly a year now, and she is caring, communicative, and compassionate! All of our volunteers bring an unmatched level of dedication, and Hannah is no exception. Between supporting survivors on the hotline and in person at the hospital, Hannah is also joining us next semester as an intern!

We can't wait to work with her more around our Fort Collins office!

  • If I didn’t have to sleep, I would do all of my work and responsibilities during the night so that during the day I would have time to adventure more and take my dog, Rocky, to see the world.

  • The best thing about winter is when you get to stay home and cuddle up with a blanket, a coffee or hot chocolate, and read a good book or watch your favorite movie while admiring the winter beauty through the window. Something about these moments feels so nostalgic and also safe and cozy.

  • There are many small things that make my day better. First and foremost, a cup of coffee in the morning. I also enjoy pausing to get some sun on my face throughout the day to try to detach from the chaos of life. Like many people, I am addicted to my phone, which I don't like so I love it when my dog pushes my phone out of my hand for cuddles. I live with my sisters and it always makes me happy when we get to eat dinner together.

  • Currently my playlist features any song by Twenty One Pilots ever as well as some Kings of Leon, Gigi Perez, and Lorde.

Fun Facts About Our Volunteer

What do you enjoy most about volunteering at SAVA?

“What I enjoy most about volunteering at SAVA is having the opportunity to help people find the next step in their healing journey. Every time I get a call or interact with a client, I always have the same thought which is I am so glad they found SAVA and proud of them for reaching out. Victims and survivors, as well as their loved ones, have so much to work through, which can be overwhelming. They often might not know how to start or where to go next. Volunteering at SAVA gives me the opportunity to share options and resources for next steps, as well as the opportunity to provide emotional support to survivors and their loved ones. Every Hotline call, resource shared, SANE exam, etc., is one step forward.”

Types of Volunteers SAVA Needs

  • 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.

  • 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 volunteer@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.
