Volunteer Opportunities

Do you want to be more involved in your South Park/Bailey community? Park County Sheriff's Office - Victim Services needs a few great volunteers to work directly with crime victims, offering support and access to resources during a critical stage of trauma.

Volunteer Victim Advocates are called by Law Enforcement during evening hours and weekends to respond on scene, to ensure victims' rights are upheld and needs are met. Most volunteers will have access to a county vehicle when they are on call with a radio for their use in the vehicle.

The application (PDF) process is selective and applicants must be at least 21 years of age, submit to a background check, and attend a 40-hour training, attend a volunteer meeting/training once a month. No experience necessary.
