In a bid to bolster its commitment to aiding survivors of sexual abuse, JAAR (Jersey Action Against Rape) has announced the initiation of a comprehensive volunteer recruitment drive. This strategic move aims to harness the power of community involvement, fostering a stronger support network for survivors navigating their path toward healing.
Recognising the critical importance of a multifaceted approach in providing holistic care, JAAR seeks volunteers from diverse backgrounds and skill sets. Whether individuals possess organisational prowess for event management, empathetic listening skills for the helpline, or administrative acumen to streamline operations, there are myriad opportunities to contribute meaningfully to the cause.
“The heart of our organisation lies in the unwavering dedication of our volunteers,” stated Zoe Collins-Fisher, Community Engagement Co-Ordinator at JAAR. “Their tireless efforts form the backbone of our support framework, providing survivors with a safe space to embark on their journey of healing.”
Volunteers play a pivotal role in amplifying JAAR’s impact, extending a lifeline of support to those affected by sexual abuse. By joining forces with the charity, volunteers not only lend their expertise but also become instrumental in fostering a culture of empathy and resilience within the community.
Individuals interested in making a tangible difference in the lives of survivors are encouraged to explore volunteer opportunities with JAAR. Together, through collective action and unwavering compassion, we can empower survivors and pave the way for a brighter, more hopeful future.
