Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of Northeastern Minnesota

Volunteers play a critical role within our community! Volunteers help strengthen the mission of the Sexual Assault Program of NSLC to help empower victims and survivors of Sexual Violence! In order to become a volunteer a minimum of 40 Hours of Advocacy training is required. Training standards are set by the Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault and our agency. The training will occur, and a date will be set for training once we have enough volunteers who have submitted a written application. Hopefully training will be set up in the Fall of 2024.
