Victim Advocate Program provides services to victim's of crime against
person's. Our goal is to provide practical support through the
judicial system as well as community resource referrals to the victims of
crime. We strive to empower victims, helping them to become independent and
self-reliant.
Volunteers are a integral part of the victim advocate
program. Volunteers perform similar duties to that of a full time victim
advocate.
