Victim service training set for local volunteers

Domestic violence is a problem in every community, big or small. If you are willing to volunteer your time to be trained as a victim advocate, Victim Witness Services will be coming to the Canyon to train volunteers.

As an advocate, you will learn about services available to victims of violent crimes and will become not only a warm but informed face in the community.

All residents are invited to take part in the training.

For more information or to sign up call Elizabeth Davis at 638-2526, ext. 6024. The training will be held on the evenings of Friday Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24.
