In-Service Training -- Continued Education
In-service trainings are provided to meet the annual required 12 hours of continuing education
for volunteers. We provide training through our program as well as to make efforts to inform
volunteers about other trainings being offered in the community.
We will update this section as trainings are scheduled.
Community Trainings (None at this time)
We will continue to update this section as we become aware of trainings being offered in the
community. If you know of an appropriate training, please contact the office 345-3344 and we'll
post the info here!
The training listed would count for in-service hours! Remember, you need 12 hours of continuing
education each year. Get an early start!
