Apply to become a Circle Volunteer

CoSA volunteers help to create spaces where core members are treated with care and dignity as they come to terms with the impacts of their past actions, take responsibility for the harm they have caused, and learn how to constructively contribute to the community. Volunteering is both challenging and rewarding.

Volunteers are provided with training and ongoing guidance and mentorship that enables them to support the core member and flag concerns to CoSA staff when necessary.

Volunteers:

• Facilitate caring, open, and honest dialogue
• Demonstrate empathy with victim experiences
• Assist core members with becoming aware of and building on their strengths
• Encourage core members to identify and make healthy choices
• Help core members to learn to self-manage risks and triggers
• Aid core members in developing longer-term support networks outside the circle
• To apply to become a volunteer, contact the CoSA site in your region.
