CHNC works to affect social change within our communities through increased public awareness. If you have an interest in ending violence in Lamoille County and in supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their children, please attend the Clarina Howard Nichols Center Volunteer Training.

Attendance of all sessions is required to complete the training and receive a crisis worker’s certificate, as well as provide direct service at the shelter (working directly with survivors and their children.)
