Supporting Survivors. Cultivating Healing. Building Accountable Communities.

NATURAL HELPER VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

We know that when survivors face abuse, they first turn to their close networks. With the long-term vision of creating a world that better supports survivors, the Natural Helpers program supports community members in learning about human trafficking, domestic and sexual violence, the societal forces that create conditions for violence, as well as in skill building around how to respond to harm, injustice, and support survivors.

Volunteers are required to attend the Natural Helpers training to understand our vision, and the scope and depth of our work. If you have additional questions, please email volunteer@apichaya.org.
