One of the most critical roles at the Family Crisis Center is the role of an advocate. Our advocates are the first contact many victims make with our center. FCC advocates respond to law enforcement requests for assistance 24/7 and work as a team with multiple agencies in the mutual interest of putting the victim first and offering advocacy services, support, and other resources.

 

Our next 9-week volunteer advocate training will take place in Spring 2026. Exact dates are still to be determined. Trainings are approximately 3.5 hours per night.
