Volunteers have been a critical part of Klinic for many, many years. Volunteers make a huge impact on the amount of calls that we are able to answer on our phone lines, and more recently have also helped provide extra screening and kindness to people visiting our our office.

Sexual Assault Crisis Program (SACP)
The Sexual Assault Crisis Program (SACP) supports people who have been impacted by sexual violence and/or intimate partner violence.
