About the training
We offer different training options depending on the volunteer role you're interested in. However, all volunteers are required to complete our basic training first—this will help you understand who we are and what we do.
Once you've completed the basic training, you can start volunteering by helping us share information about the services we offer. Or, you can also choose to continue your training if you're interested in taking on a different role.
You’re welcome to add to your training at any time in the future if you'd like to explore different volunteering opportunities with us. Training is free, friendly and fun, and we are with you all the way!
