Volunteer of the Season
Please join us in recognizing Ella Rolph as our Volunteer of the Fall Season for 2025!
Ella was a returning Superworld mentor and was a huge help at one of the biggest groups, she redirected kids so kindly and kept them on task.
When we asked the group to name an adult they trusted, nearly half of them listed Ella along with their parents or site staff! Ella's presence week to week was massively impactful, and the fact that so many participants highlighted her as a trusted adult speaks to the way she connected so meaningfully with them. She was cool-headed, consistent and incredibly caring. We are so lucky to have her and all our passionate Superworld volunteers!

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 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.
