Winter Volunteer Medical Advocate Training Deadline to apply: January 5. Orientation Sessions (by invitation only): January 10, 12, or 13 between 5:30PM–9:30PM. Training Dates: January 31 – March 7, every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday between 5:30PM–9:30PM Resilience is looking for our next class of volunteers to train with us this winter. We rely on volunteers to be able to ensure survivors are supported in hospitals all over the city. Medical advocates are the people who respond to the page from the hospital emergency room—the caring strangers who arrive to hold an unsteady hand, decipher medical and legal terminology, and filter through countless forms and paperwork, all to support survivors on their healing journey. Now more than ever we need volunteers to continue showing up for survivors. Volunteer medical advocates complete 60 hours of virtual training before signing up to be on-call to hospitals throughout the Chicago area. Our next volunteer training will be held in winter 2022. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Know someone who might be interested? Forward this email to them! Learn more here and apply below! | |
