Rainbow Services

40-hour Domestic Violence Advocate Training will begin on Thursday, May 3rd and will conclude on Monday June 18th.  There will be no session on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th.  The sessions will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00  p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays at Providence Little Company of Mary Hospital in San Pedro.

Because Rainbow Services believes that a key step in ending the cycle of violence is education, the decision was made for the agency to underwrite the bulk of the cost of the training and charge attendees a modest $100.

REGISTRATION FOR THIS SESSION IS CLOSED.  The next training will begin in mid-September and registration will open at the end of July.
