Volunteer InternshipVolunteer Opportunity The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Domestic Violence Program provides information and support to crime victims. Volunteers are trained to provide information on the court process, crime victim rights, community resources and safety planning. District Attorney Carol Chambers says “Volunteering to be a victim advocate is a meaningful way to learn about the criminal justice system and help others in our community.” Victim Advocates interact with and support victims of domestic violence. Some of their duties include interviewing victims to gain their perspective of the offense. Volunteers also provide resource referrals and explain the process to victims. Volunteer training is approximately 20 hours and begins in January. Volunteers are asked to commit to one morning a week in either the county court in Arapahoe or To request an application or more information contact Debbie Lewis, Domestic Violence Fast Track Coordinator, Phone: 303-734-5260 E-Mail: dlewis@da18.state.co.usThe District Attorney’s Office accepts qualified volunteers on an ongoing basis.
