Survivor Advocates help us to answer our 24-hour crisis hotline and accompany survivors to area hospitals, law enforcement agencies, and criminal justice proceedings to provide support through the forensic examination, the reporting process, and court.
The training to become an advocate is 40 hours, certified through the Texas Office of the Attorney General. It is hosted 3 times a year in the Spring, Summer, and Fall Semesters.
Advocates must be 18 years or older and be able to pass a criminal background check.
Next Training is in the Fall and will be October 18th through November 5th; it will run Tue/Wed/Thur of all three weeks from 5:30-8:30pm and Saturdays October 22nd and November 5th from 9am-2pm. The training will be held in person in the Bryan/College Station area.
