Volunteer Training & Ceremonies

Our volunteers are the heart of our organization. Volunteers participate in training as they become an advocate and have opportunities to expand that training at events throughout the year. After volunteers are trained, they are sworn into service by their county judge as an official court-appointed advocate.
