Get Involved at the Tuscaloosa SAFE Center
Volunteers are the backbone of the Tuscaloosa SAFE Center, and the achievement of the Center's goals are best served by the active participation of citizens in the community. Volunteers are viewed as a valuable resource to the SAFE Center, its staff and its patients.
​
All volunteers will be required to complete an application, an interview, and must pass a criminal background check. Once these steps have been completed, volunteers will then be required to attend a mandatory training session before beginning to assist as a volunteer.
​

Medical Advocates
A medical advocate fulfills a critical role for our sexual assault patients. You will be on the front lines, bearing witness to the experiences of sexual assault survivors and standing beside them on their healing journey. The SAFE Center provides specialized training to all volunteers to ensure they are prepared and able to assist each patient with ease and comfort. Interested? Contact us at Baili@tuscaloosasafecenter.com for more information or fill out this form to apply.
*At the moment, we are putting advocate applications on hold until March 2025. We encourage you to apply at that time!
