Volunteer

When tragedy strikes, a calm and compassionate presence can make all the difference. At Victims, Inc., our trauma volunteers are called to the scenes of emergencies to provide immediate emotional support to victims and their families during the most difficult hours of their lives.

Since 1993, volunteers have responded to fires, fatal crashes, suicides, overdoses, drownings, and other sudden losses. They sit with the injured in hospitals, stand beside grieving families, and accompany police officers during death notifications—staying until loved ones have the support they need. These moments are intense, but they are also deeply meaningful.

We're looking for everyday people with compassion, courage, and a desire to serve. You don’t need special credentials—just a willingness to be there when someone’s world has been turned upside down.

Minimum Requirements:

• You must be 21 years or older
• Have your own reliable transportation
• Be able to commit time on-call
• Be open to serving in emotional situations
• Be willing to complete our training program

No prior medical, legal, or crisis experience is required. Your personal life experience and empathy are what matter most. We provide free, comprehensive training designed by professionals in emergency medicine, law enforcement, mental health, and grief support.

Our Trauma Volunteer Training Program typically takes place in the fall and includes eight Saturday sessions. The curriculum equips you with the skills and confidence needed to comfort, assist, and advocate for individuals and families facing unimaginable loss. After training, volunteers serve with para-professional status and receive continued support from the Victims, Inc. team.

If you’re ready to offer presence, not just pity—support, not just sympathy—we want to hear from you.
