Rape crisis center needs volunteers

A four-day training has been scheduled in Lexington as follows: 5:30 to 8 p.m. Jan. 21; 9:30-4:30 p.m. Jan. 22; and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 29 and Feb. 5. The training is comprehensive and presented in a casual style with guidance and support from professional staff.
When the volunteers are trained, they will meet victims of sexual assault at local hospitals or police stations in a five-county area including Boyle, Lincoln, Mercer and Garrard counties; provide referrals for follow-up services; and assist with community awareness campaigns by distributing agency information or managing community information fair booths.
Volunteers must make a six-month commitment and must be 20 years old with transportation. The training is free.
