Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center (DARCC) Volunteer Training

We have multiple ways to volunteer at DARCC. To work directly with survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones, opportunities include assisting with DARCC’s 24/7 Crisis Hotline, providing hospital accompaniment, and by accompanying survivors to legal proceedings and/or accompanying survivors when making a report to law enforcement. Volunteers must pass a background check and complete a 40-hour Office of the Attorney General (OAG) mandated volunteer advocate training. Currently, the training is virtual. After training, volunteers are required to take a minimum of 2 shifts per month. Additionally, the Office of the Attorney General OAG requirements also mandate that all active volunteers receive six hours of continuing education per year.
