Meet the Trainers

VA SOS trainers are volunteers who are able to train and certify new volunteers across the state. These trainers receive extra training and serve as local points of contact and local knowledge for new monitors. There are over 30 VA SOS trainers in Virginia – check them out below and reach out to their organizations if you’d like to join their monitoring teams!
