Orientation and Training

Orientation and Training

All volunteers must attend an orientation session that will provide an overview of domestic violence issues, the agency, and the services we provide, and specific volunteer opportunities.

Once a prospective volunteer completes the orientation, if that individual wishes to volunteer in a direct service area, she or he must also complete our comprehensive, 22-hour training program. The training takes place three times a year and covers:
*Dynamics of domestic violence
*Peer counseling skills
*The effects of domestic violence on children
*Sexual abuse
*Related legal issues
*Diversity issues and cultural competencies
*And more
