Become a Volunteer Advocate
We Love Our Volunteers!
Volunteer Advocate training is a 40-hour comprehensive program where participants delve into learning about advocacy, counseling strategies, social work, child advocacy, the legal system, law enforcement and other issues surrounding domestic violence and sexual assault. We bring in the experts in our region to present on various topics and to speak to how our agencies collaborate to end domestic and sexual violence in our communities.
When & Where
Each year, we host training sessions in Telluride and the West End (in either Norwood or Naturita). These trainings are made up of both in-person sessions, as well as online readings and videos.
Commitment
Once you become a certified victim advocate, there is no time commitment required for volunteering. You can volunteer as much or as little as you would like. We are grateful for any and all help we get. We provide the FREE education and believe that the more people who become educated on these issues, the more clearly we embody our mission.
