Help TEARS Foundation with 5 volunteers for Honors Psychology Students
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Since our founding, TEARS has provided direct support to 395,217 victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child sexual abuse across South Africa, by using technology innovatively and has reached 44 million people through our Public Service Announcements, educating on GBV prevention. The TEARS Foundation is accountable to and is regulated by policies and guidelines from various Government Agencies- including the Department of Social Development; CIPC, SARS, the Department of Basic Education; and the South African Police Service. To operate effectively we require volunteers who are able to assist us with assisting victims in need. We have to emphasis that we require volunteers who are interested in trauma based counselling services. As you are aware Volunteering is an activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to benefit the environment, individuals, or groups. I am sure you know this, however, sometimes volunteers expect payment. This is an unpaid opportunity. We wanted to enquire if you would mind sharing the below & attached with your current student compliment of Honors Psychology Students for the opportunity to volunteer at an award winning organization.
