Every year, 300 volunteers donate their time to CVT. Some spend an hour or two on a community service project, others make a weekly commitment that becomes an important part of their own lives. Either way, we couldn’t do it without you.
Most importantly, our volunteers form the basis of a healing community – one where torture survivors feel welcomed and protected. Torture survivors know that people in our community care about their healing process enough to become personally involved.
Whatever your talents, you can be part of an effort that makes hope and healing possible.
To become a volunteer, please complete the CVT Volunteer Application and return it to Beth Wickum, director of volunteer services.

Graphic Design Volunteers Needed
The New Tactics in Human Rights Project with the Center for Victims of Torture needs a volunteer graphic designer to lay out in-depth case studies called “tactical notebooks.” An InDesign CS2 template is available. The estimated time commitment is 8-12 hours per notebook. Work can be done on-site at CVT or at the volunteer’s home or office. An example of a notebook is here.
Contact Beth Wickum, CVT Volunteer Coordinator, for more information (contact information above).
