Our VOICE Outreach Volunteer Training
5 hours
Jan. 31 & Feb. 2, 2011
6-8:30 PM
Buncombe County’s rape crisis and prevention center is offering a 5 hour training for individuals who would like to get involved with Our VOICE outreach projects. Our previous outreach endeavors include tabling at LAAFF, Blue Ridge Pride, health fairs, homeless community events, and awareness projects at local colleges. We also stage a twice annual Bar Outreach Project to provide area bartenders with information about drug-facilitated sexual assault.
Training prepares volunteers to represent Our VOICE and provide information on our mission and services at a variety of outreach events throughout Buncombe County. Volunteers will be equipped to engage community members in conversations about consent and sexual violence prevention. In addition to volunteering at established events, volunteers will initiate new outreach opportunities to help expand familiarity with Our VOICE’s mission and services. Volunteers will commit 2-4 hours per month.
Volunteers who complete Outreach training will be eligible to complete a shorter version of the full Prevention, Education & Outreach training (24 hr.), which takes place each fall. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Please post the attached flier if possible and forward this message to anyone else who may be interested.
Contact monicaa@ourvoicenc.org for more information. Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2011.
