What type of training is required to become a STANDUP FOR KIDS volunteer?
Volunteers are required to submit a Background Investigation and undergo the STANDUP FOR KIDS Training Program which consists of eight, two hour classes. The Training Program educates volunteers on the hardships that homeless and street kids endure every day. Many of our kids have run away from abusive situations, physical, mental, and sexual, and it is necessary to understand these situations in addition to the obstacles, problems, and mentality of street life.
