Volunteers are needed for the upcoming year at the DeKalb Rape Crisis Center.

The facility uses volunteers to answer calls on a 24-hour hotline and also to accompany people to the hospital as needed. The center saves $300 a day by using volunteers.

A seven-week training session for new volunteers begins on Sept. 15, with two three-hour sessions each week.

Information or to sign up: 404-377-1429 or jamalila@dekalbrapecrisiscenter.org.
