Ducky Doolittle has posted a call - they need advocates in Queens County:

I am writing to you on behalf of the Mount Sinai Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program (SAVI) in hope that you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a Volunteer Emergency Advocate for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. The Advocate is on call once a month in Manhattan or Queens to accompany people who have been recently sexually assaulted or domestically abused through their stay in the Emergency Room, so that they don’t have to face the difficult decisions, emotions and follow-up procedures alone.

The work the Advocate does is invaluable, and SAVI Advocates alone helped more than 500 survivors in New York City Emergency Rooms last year—that’s almost 2 survivors a day!

New York still needs your help! Rape and Domestic Violence are still a huge problem in our communities—but through SAVI, it is possible to make a difference.

If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Rape Crisis and Domestic Violence Emergency Room Advocate, please review the dates and information below, and then call the SAVI office at (212) 423-2140 or (718) 736-1288.

To get more information about SAVI you can visit the website at www.mssm.edu/SAVI/.
