Training complete 40 hours of comprehensive training to
become paraprofessional victim assistance volunteers. Each
volunteer commits to three shifts per month. Shifts include
the telephone crisis hotline and emergency response teams
during evening, weekend and holiday hours.
- The WHO® (We Help Ourselves) programs are presented in
Pre-K through 12th grade in schools in Abilene and the
surrounding area. WHO® is an anti-victimization program
designed to help children and adolescents with options for
avoiding becoming a victim, and resources for help if they do
become the victim of a crime. Volunteers are asked to
commit to at least three 45 minute to 1 hour WHO®
presentations each month while school is in session. If you
would like more information about becoming a WHO®
volunteer, please email Linda Walker, RCVCC Assistant
Director & Education Coordinator, or call 325-677-7895.
