Advocates’ Academy is a 48-hour foundational eLearning course designed to cover all the basics from our in-person Foundations of Advocacy and Advocacy in Practice courses. Enrollment is open on a rolling basis, and advocates will be able to join the course at any time and complete the training at their own pace.

MOCADSV’s Service Standards require advocates and volunteers with domestic violence agencies and rape crisis centers to receive 40-hours of training before providing services, and 48-hours of training for agencies that provide both domestic and sexual violence services. This course provides new advocates the opportunity to meet that standard in just one course. To register, click here. This course is free for MOCADSV members. For more information, contact the training team at 573.634.4161 or training@mocadsv.org. 

As a new leader in the Missouri Movement to end domestic and sexual violence, it’s important that you invest in professional development – and not only for your staff, but for yourself. That’s why MOCADSV created the Directors’ Academy. The year-long training and peer support academy will meet six times during 2023. Executive Directors in their first through fifth year in their leadership position are invited to join. For more information contact MOCADSV’s Chief Member Services Officer, Laura Zahnd, at lzahnd@mocadsv.org.

“Directors’ Academy is an outstanding experience! I could not have made it through my first few years without the knowledge that I gained there and the support that I received from the Coalition was outstanding.” – Comment from a Directors’ Academy Graduate
