Become a part of STESA’s Crisis Intervention advocacy!

STESA is currently recruiting volunteers for our upcoming Hotline Advocacy Training. The 60-hour training will begin September 5, 2023 and end October 28, 2023.

  • Tuesday and Thursdays virtually from 6:00-8:30 PM

  • The following Saturdays in-person from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM: September 9th and 23rd and October 14th and 28th

Once training and certification is completed, Advocates commit to a weekly 6-hour shift on the 24-hour Hotline to provide crisis counseling, information, advocacy and accompaniment to survivors of sexual assault and their families and friends. Advocates also provide support to survivors and their loved ones.
