Crime victims

Crime Victims Council of the Lehigh Valley, the local victim service and rape crisis center, is accepting applications for volunteer positions.

Students and adults can gain experience in working directly with crime victims and their families, while helping those in their time of need.

Tasks include providing support to callers on the 24-hour hotline (from your own home); accompanying victims of violence to hospitals, police stations, and court; and assisting with office tasks, projects and fundraisers.

Training begins on Feb. 1 at the CVC Office, 801 Hamilton St., Allentown, on the third floor.

One training session will be at Penn State Ag Extension, 4184 Dorney Park Road, South Whitehall Township.
