Volunteer Opportunities  Back

Volunteers are an important part of our service to families and community. If interested in one of the opportunities noted here, or if you have time to give in another way please call our office at 208-354-SAFE.

Trained volunteer advocates respond to our 24-hour support hotline calls

Our trained volunteer advocates are kind, compassionate individuals who provide confidential, non-judgmental support to community members experiencing domestic violence, abuse, sexual assault and other relationship issues. Advocates are trained to listen and offer resources that help people develop the strength required to make positive life choices.

FSN advocates complete 40 hours of training that prepares them to answer our 24-hour support hotline. Hotline advocates assist people of all ages experiencing a myriad of issues and can always rely on a FSN staff person to provide backup assistance. Advocates are available to answer our support hotline cell phone for one week every two months or so. They may take the cell phone and resource notebook with them to work or leisure activities, as long as they remain within cell range from Jackson to Pocatello.

The supportive assistance delivered during a support hotline call may last from just a few minutes to one hour or more. We have no way of knowing when the phone will ring or what level of assistance will be needed. Our role is to assure we are available and prepared when an individual reaches for help. For more information about FSN advocacy call Teresa Allen, Victim Services Coordinator at 208-354-SAFE.
