65-hour Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Counselor Training

The next volunteer training will be in 2026.

VOLUNTEERThis training is mandated by the State of California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES). Individuals who complete this 65-Hour training and a successful evaluation thereafter will be a qualified Domestic Violence Counselor and Sexual Assault Counselor.

You must be at least 18 years old to participate.

  • All volunteers are required to go through the 65-Hour training in order to volunteer in any capacity at NEWS. Certified volunteers are required to attend monthly in-service meetings.
  • This training is held only once per year. We are seeking non-judgmental and empathetic listeners to assist with our 24-hour response team, court advocacy program, and other supportive services.
  • NEWS holds several community events and fundraisers throughout the year and always welcomes volunteers to help with various event-related duties. It can be anything from setting up and decorating a venue, to selling tickets, or serving wine – and many other opportunities in-between.
  • Getting the word out about domestic violence and sexual abuse and the resources available through NEWS is an important volunteer opportunity. If you enjoy public speaking, or would like to help distribute information or attend resource fairs, this may be an ideal opportunity for you.
  • For more information about enrolling in the volunteer training, please email Kassy McKee at KassyM@NapaNEWS.org.
  • Thank you for your willingness to help.
