ASUMH to offer advocacy training

The ASUMH Pipeline to Advanced Manufacturing, in partnership with Serenity Inc, will be holding a 40-hour advocacy training, including work and life skills classes. The training will take place September 17th through the 21st from 8:00 until 5:00 each day. The class is geared for any adult interested in advocacy and community volunteering opportunities.

The morning class sessions will cover employment skills such as job searching, resume building, and interviewing, as well as life skills such as emotional, financial and social resource building, communication and goal setting. The victim advocacy sessions will be taught by Serenity staff members and will teach students about the agency’s operations, domestic violence, community outreach and legal issues in the court room. Students will be trained on how to answer emergency hotlines as well as be provided the opportunity to job shadow.

Class materials and lunch are provided each day.
