New Volunteer Training Registration Now Open

The training locations and dates for fall 2012/winter 2013 are now posted on the Volunteer Training page and the online registration is now open at Registration for New Volunteer Training. There are 13 locations around the state. Required of all new leaders, encouraged for all!  NEW leaders MUST attend this training within one year of becoming a leader.  The costs to counties this year will be $15 for each volunteer and counties will receive a bill after the volunteer has completed the training. SESS volunteers do not need to attend Multi-Region New Volunteer Training because they are already receiving positive youth development training as part of their new SESS volunteer training.
