About Our Training Program
Core Training is open to LACASA staff, interns and volunteers, as well as community members. Advocates who serve at other victim-related organizations also are welcome to attend.

LACASA volunteers who are interested in serving in positions that involve direct client contact are required to attend this multi-day training.
