Our phenomenal team of advocates provides victims with access to resources, referrals, support and practical help. We take time to listen or offer a shoulder to cry on.
Victim Advocates work closely with police officers and provide a service that is extremely valuable to the whole community. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and backgrounds, but they all have empathy, compassion and dedication.
Are you interested in really making a difference for someone? Would you like to be a part of a team that provides opportunities for self-growth and fulfillment? Then volunteer as a Victim Advocate for the Boulder Police Department!
