The Rape Crisis Center of Milford is currently accepting applications for its in-person volunteer training course for sexual assault crisis counselor state certification that begins this fall.
The center’s 40-hour training curriculum provides volunteers with the education and skills necessary to effectively support survivors on its hotline and during crisis responses. No previous counseling experience is required.
Volunteers must be 18 or older with a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. Volunteers must also live within 30 minutes of all police departments and hospitals in the crisis center’s service area, which includes Ansonia, Derby, Milford, Orange, Seymour, Shelton and West Haven.
Training begins in September. Most class meetings are held in Milford on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
