Our Volunteers

Volunteers at the most valuable asset the Turning Point program has. Without their dedication we would have a very difficult time keeping our 24-hour crisis line covered. Our volunteers donate on the average of 15,000 hours of their time, county wide. We offer our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our volunteers for a job well done!!

An advocate is a person who has received the prescribed hours of training in order to provide direct services to victims of family violence and sexual assault.

        1. To provide a non judgmental environment.
        2. To inform victims of their options and rights.
        3. Link the victims with appropriate resources.
