About This Event
Join us for our 8 Hour Community Advocate Training!
Saturday, September 12th from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. Burlington, VT (exact location TBD)
Our 8-hour Community Advocate Training is for those who are interested in community-based advocacy work and want to build skills to support survivors and engage in violence prevention in their own communities. This introductory training will provide foundational knowledge on domestic violence and anti-violence work and is for those who are ready to take action to end violence. Expect interactive workshops, opportunities for reflection, and group discussions to support you in identifying where and how you can make a difference. It consists of two hours of self-paced pre-work (which must be completed prior to 9/12) and six hours of in-person training.
This training will not grant participants Crisis Worker Privilege and is not for those who are planning on volunteering or working on the Steps hotline or in our shelter. Participants will be able to support Steps’ community-based volunteer needs, such as attending outreach events, tabling, or helping with fundraising activities. If you have any questions, please contact Steph at stephs@stepsvt.org.
This training will include:
- Domestic Violence 101presentation
- An in depth look at violence prevention approaches and strategies
- Discussion around what domestic violence looks like in your community and how to take action to make a difference
- Social values activity
- Bystander intervention training
- Activities to build skills to support survivors
- Ongoing support from Steps’ community engagement team for participant led community based violence prevention activities
We encourage a $20 donation to cover the costs of the training. If cost is a barrier, you can chose the $0 option and attend for free. Alternatively, you can choose our pay-it-forward option of $40 to help folks who would like to attend but cannot cover the fee.
