Become a Volunteer Advocate
Our individual advocacy program survives on volunteers. We provide intensive training to people interested in becoming advocates. Once someone passes the training class they are assigned a 6-month internship to develop an area of expertise. Advocates are also assigned a mentor to help them with initial cases. Advocates can do more than one internship. Once an advocate has completed the internship and has acquired the necessary skill set they receive certification from CCDC. CCDC also provides updates and refresher courses along with access to the secure advocate web site for trained advocates.
Upcoming classes for new advocates are in Montrose in late August and Denver in late August or Early September.
If you want to be an advocate please send an email to Julie Reiskin at jreiskin@ccdconline.org or call at 303-839-1775.
