Survivors rely on our support day and night. SAC’s Medical Accompaniment Program (MAP) makes sure no one has to face these moments alone.
Community members have the opportunity to be trained as MAP Volunteers to provide immediate crisis intervention and support to survivors of sexual assault in Nashville during the evidence collection exam process and/or reporting to police. Learn more about the position here.
We know that some people who want to work with sexual assault survivors may be survivors themselves. Because this work can be very sensitive and potentially triggering, we require that survivors wait at least 5 years from the time they received services before becoming a MAP Volunteer.
Required 40-hour, in-person training.
After completing training, you must shadow one medical exam with a seasoned advocate before accompanying exams on your own.
Once you’ve completed both the training and shadowing components, you can begin volunteering independently.
Survivors rely on our support 24/7, 365 days a year.
Volunteers who can cover evening, overnight, weekend, and holiday shifts help ensure no one faces this experience alone.
Availability outside normal business hours will be prioritized during the application process.
