VAT is a 69-hour, state-certified training for staff and volunteers to better understand the issues surrounding domestic violence, sexual assault, and youth homelessness, and how to assist individuals and families directly impacted. As a VAT Volunteer in direct services, you will assist in providing support, assistance and resources to program participants. Services are offered to men, women and youth, regardless of race, orientation, economic background, immigration status or gender, in English, Spanish and a variety of other languages. Services are also provided to our incarcerated and formerly incarcerated populations. System-impacted individuals, BIPOC, men and bilingual individuals are encouraged to apply for this training in order to help us better meet the needs of our diverse community and clients.

VAT Applications are currently CLOSED. Next VAT Session will be Summer 2023.
