Training sessions for volunteers will be conducted by Night Off the Streets warming center on Thursday and Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in Carson City.
For the sixth year, NOTS will provide a place for those without homes to sleep during the winter from Nov. 1 through March 31. A different church in Carson City hosts the warming shelter each month. All community members are welcome to serve as volunteers.
The training sessions cover the roles of volunteers on each of the three shifts during the night. The training sessions will be held on Thursday from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10-11 a.m. Volunteers are required to attend one of the two sessions.
The training sessions are designed for new and veteran volunteers. For those considering serving as a volunteer, the sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about NOTS as well. Prior to the sessions, optional Narcan/naloxone training will also be conducted at 6 p.m. on Thursday and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.
Pre-registration is not required to attend the training sessions but is encouraged. The Carson City Methodist Church is located at 212 N. Division St.
