Orientation and Training for Volunteers

The Key to a Meaningful Volunteer Experience

Volunteer orientation and training ensures success for you and for our clients.  Our goal is twofold:

• provide you with meaningful experiences where you can grow personally and professionally; and
• provide Courage Center staff with trained volunteers.

Volunteer orientation is designed to help increase your knowledge of Courage Center, physical disabilities, disability issues, information concerning vulnerable adults and Courage Center’s expectation related to volunteers and staff. 

The class is facilitated by the Courage Center coordinator of volunteers and/or other staff.  It includes a volunteer disability awareness speaker and a virtual tour outlining Courage Center services.

Attendance is required to be a volunteer.  Sign up:

• For a Duluth session, by calling 218-726-4763 or sending an e-mail to Lisa.Lauzon@CourageCenter.org.
  
• For a Golden Valley session by calling the Volunteer Services Department at 763-520-0214 or sending an e-mail to VolunteerServices@CourageCenter.org.
