Adult Mentors gain experience in positive youth development, public speaking, and community organizing while providing vital support to the Peers Building Justice program.

All Adult Mentors must complete SPAN’s 44-hour paraprofessional training. We offer our Anti-Violence Volunteer training three times annually; February, June and October.  In this training, you will learn about social justice issues, the dynamics of abuse, how to provide support in a non-judgmental way, and how to use your time to advance positive social change…and you may be changed in the process!  Become a part of the solution as we work together to end all forms of violence.
