Volunteer Trainings

Starting in November, we will be offering one Refresher Volunteer training and one Initial Volunteer training each month. They will alternate between an evening and a daytime option. 

Look soon for a link to sign up on a google doc for upcoming training.  Once registered, volunteers will receive a link to join the training and the necessary forms/handouts.

Refresher Volunteer trainings are appropriate for volunteers who have previously completed the initial training and are in need of their annual refresher training.

Initial Volunteer trainings are for those who have never been through formal training with Family Promise.
