Since the beginning, Catalyst has relied on volunteers from our community to answer our 24 hour crisis line, help clients access shelter, offer support to our clients and their children in shelter, and work with our Domestic Violence Response Team. Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization and without them we would not be able to offer the amount and quality of services we do. We ask for a commitment of a minimum of 6 months and 20 hours per month. Internships are also available through Chico State and Butte College for fields such as Psychology, Criminal Justice, Sociology and Social Work, so volunteers can earn units while gaining valuable experience. All of our volunteers go through a training program that certifies them as Crisis Line Counselors. The 45-hour training occurs tri-annually. The trainings are held in the Fall, Spring and Summer. Time and location of the training change for each session. For more information, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator at 343-7798. New Volunteer Opportunity! Domestic Violence Response Team Advocates. As a volunteer you will have the opportunity to respond directly to a domestic violence call to law enforcement providing advocacy and support for victims of domestic violence. |
