Upcoming Training

Please note that attendance at all training classes is essential, and make-up classes for absences are very difficult to arrange. Speak with your Program Coordinator before the onset of training if you believe you might have to miss any of the sessions.


Some volunteer training programs are offered on an ongoing basis, however, the majority of training is scheduled four times a year. You may click on a specific training session for access to the class schedule dates and more specific information.
