Abuse Network History

Home

Community Education / Training / Involvement

Prevention Education

This program is an integral tool in educating professional workers, children, teens, church groups, and a variety of other human service and civic organizations on the effects of domestic violence and sexual assault.  It is imperative that we encourage the community to become more knowledgeable about these growing epidemics.

Outreach Services

We have incorporated a program that is beneficial to many of the outlying, rural areas in Mifflin and Juniata Counties.  Our Outreach Coordinator travels to various sites in the communities to provide our services to those who may not be able to reach our offices through any other means because of their particular situation.

Volunteer Opportunities

There's no doubt about it, volunteers are the backbone of our organization.  Without their hard work and dedication to our cause, we would not be where we are today.  There are a number of opportunities available for persons interested in becoming a volunteer for our organization.

Hotline volunteers are required to complete a 65-hour training course.  The course is usually held once in the spring and once in the fall for two evenings a week for approximately eight weeks.

CAP volunteers are required to complete a 12-hour training in order to volunteer to present the CAP program in the schools.

To be considered as a volunteer, please go to the "Volunteer Application" page, print it out, complete, and mail or drop it off at one of our office locations.
