Sexual assault can happen to anyone. And when it does, knowing there is someone to turn to can make all the difference in the world for victims and their families. The Sexual Assault Program of Victim Services trains volunteers to offer such support to survivors of sexual assault in Dodge, Olmsted and Fillmore counties. This required 40-hour course teaches prospective volunteers the skills necessary to become crisis line advocates. The next training session will be held Tuesday evenings September 16th through November 4th from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. and two Saturday sessions, October 11th and October 25th from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The training will be held in Rochester and is free to those wanting to become volunteers. For more information about becoming a volunteer with Victim Services, call Alison at 507-328-7273. Interested applicants must apply by September 8, 2008.
