Volunteer: AmeriCorps Victim Assistance Program 2021-2022 Service Year
AmeriCorps Victim Assistance Program (AVAP) members provide crisis intervention, direct support services, and advocacy to individuals and families who have been impacted by domestic, sexual, and stalking violence, addressing critical needs of communities throughout New Hampshire. Members receive training from experts in the field on crucial topics related to victim/survivor advocacy. As financial abuse presents a significant barrier to survivors in accessing safety, members integrate economic empowerment into their advocacy by providing financial literacy education and services.
AVAP is currently accepting applications for 2021-2022 service positions which will begin 9/4/2021 and end 9/3/2022. AVAP members are placed at crisis center and criminal justice-based host sites throughout the State of New Hampshire. Both full time (1700 hours) and half time (900 hours) positions are available.
By serving a year with AVAP, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of victim/survivors of domestic, sexual, and stalking violence. The experience and training you receive will not only help you make a difference in the field of victim/survivor services but will also allow you to make valuable connections within the profession, community, and with other socially conscious individuals.
Full time service includes a living stipend totaling $15,100. Half time Service includes living stipend of $8,150. An educational award of $ 6,345 for full time service and $3,172.50 for half time service, is also offered upon successful completion of service. This can be used to pay back qualified student loans or to pay for the cost of attending a qualified higher education institution. Health insurance is also offered to full time members.
