A Call for Volunteers for a Hotline

 

On May 16, 2006, the City Council of the city of Boulder agreed to partially fund a Hotline Pilot Project, a joint venture of Boulder Community United (BCU), Shoulder2Shoulder, Moving to End Sexual Assault (MESA), and the Safety Net Project of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center (RMP&JC). The Hotline Pilot Project will provide resource and referral services to victims and witnesses of profiling and other bias related incidents.

 

The Hotline Pilot Project will be a confidential, bi-lingual/multi-lingual service for victims and/or witnesses. The Hotline Pilot Project will provide immediate assistance and appropriate referrals serving residents of any age in the Boulder community regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability or religious preference.
