Sexual Assault 40 Hour Advocacy March 3 to 26, 2026

The Native-focused 40 hour Sexual Assault Advocacy Training is currently online. The training is free of cost and open to all who are interested in advocacy and supporting Indigenous survivors. The Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition’s 40-Hour Sexual Assault Advocacy Curriculum was created by Native women experts in the field. It is designed for Tribal communities, and non-Native service providers working with and for Native people who have been impacted by sexual violence. The goal of this Native-focused curriculum is to provide new and seasoned advocates with knowledge and skills they need to provide culturally responsive, survivor-centered training for victims/survivors of sexual violence. This curriculum meets the requirements of the State of Minnesota, Statute 595.02 to ensure communication between advocates and victims of sexual assault is considered privileged information. This curriculum may also be used for Tribal advocates in states other than Minnesota.

The training is online on Zoom and registration is at: https://miwsac.coalitionmanager.org/eventmanager/trainingevent/details/226
