Do YOU want to make a difference?
The Rape Crisis Center of Milford may be just the right place for your commitment to provide a vital community service.
The Center is now accepting applications for the upcoming training to become a certified sexual assault crisis counselor, and is providing free training to those interested.
The 32-hour training program will begin on Sept. 4. Sessions will take place Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Parson’s Government Complex on West River Street in Milford.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s license with available transportation, and be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement upon acceptance into the program. No previous counseling experience is required.
Female, male, and bilingual volunteers are all needed. Volunteers are asked to pay a nominal $25 fee to cover the cost of the training manual.
The Rape Crisis Center of Milford, member of CONNSACS (CT Sexual Assault Crisis Services), is a non-profit service organization established in 1974. Staff and volunteers cover a hotline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
