5 Different Volunteer ProjectsAnti-Human Trafficking RISE Hotline Volunteer, In-Office/Administrative Volunteer, Outreach/Event Volunteer, Sexual Assault Crisis Hotline + Hospital Volunteer, and Text/Chat Hotline Volunteer.VolunteerBecause of the sensitive nature of our work, most volunteer positions do involve significant training. We ask that volunteers who complete the training commit to 4-6 hours weekly of volunteer time for a minimum of 6 months. It is our volunteer corps that is responsible for answering our hotline 24/7, as well as responding to victims at the hospital. Volunteers also assist with representing The Rape Crisis Center at outreach and community events and help out in our office. |

| About us | Founded in 1974 as Community Action Against Rape (CAAR), The Rape Crisis Center (RCC) began as the combined effort of Florence McClure and Sandra Petta, two women living in Las Vegas who were outraged by the lack of resources and respect for those affected by sexual assault. Currently, The RCC serves all of Clark County, Nevada. Our focus on supporting victims in the immediate aftermath and long-term recovery following sexual abuse and assault is unwavering. |
