Volunteer as a Certified Rape Crisis Counselor!“SFWAR is not a rape crisis center. It’s a community – of survivors, of allies, of fierce folks speaking out, speaking together, speaking their truth. I’ve worked at many social service non-profits, and SFWAR walks its anti-oppression talk. I have been humbled and bettered from my many experiences with staff and clients there.” - Volunteer

“SFWAR means… the space to fill the void created by intimate violence in our lives. Here I have the strength to move the pain from political, social, and sexual traumas into a constructive forum for change in my life and the lives of others.”- Volunteer
