What to Expect from the Training 

DASACC offers quarterly training to prepare our volunteers to become a part of our team. Training is offered in March, June, September and December (specific dates TBA). Our training is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of DASACC, domestic/sexual violence and the services available to survivors.

5 In-Person Sessions

Training is divided into five modules delivered over the course of two weeks. These sessions cover key topics, including understanding domestic violence, crisis response, and survivor advocacy.

​

​Participants will:

  • Learn best practices for providing emotional support, navigating community services, and adhering to legal and ethical guidelines.

  • Engage in scenario-based learning, role playing, and discussions to build confidence and practical skills.

  • Connect with trainers and fellow participants in a supportive learning environment, both in-person and online.

Independent Learning

Before attending the 5 in-person sessions, participants will engage in independent learning to prepare for the training. This blend of independent and in-person learning ensures participants are prepared for their volunteer experience with DASACC.

​This includes:

  • Completing essay questions and quizzes to deepen understanding and encourage the application of key concepts.

  • Working through additional online assignments designed to enhance knowledge of domestic violence dynamics, crisis response strategies, and survivor advocacy.

  • Accessing supplemental materials and resources through Moodle, DASACC's online platform, to reinforce learning and provide valuable context.

Training Details

  • Dates: March, June, September, and December 2025

  • Time: Sessions run from 6:00 to 9:30pm

  • Meals: Dinner will be provided!

To enhance the training experience, DASACC utilizes Moodle, an open-source platform, to provide additional resources and optional online learning opportunities.
